He wanted to give our hypothetical children Bible names and for us to move to Korea to become missionaries.”

Without the people that came back day after day to vote for me, I'd be nowhere, and I really owe it all to them.”

“Well to me growing, up I've had my own psychological war with my parents dying at such a young age. My mother was killed by a drunk driver, then two months later my father drowned. He was out with his friends drinking and on medication for depression, and he didn't come out of the water alive.
