“I have to confess: I didn’t support Trump in 2016. Skeptical that he shared my conservative views, I expected him to flip flop on his campaign promises. But he has followed through on his promises.” “As long as Trump is president, fishing families like mine will have a voice."

MARY ANN MENDOZA, WHOSE SON WAS KILLED BY A DRUNK DRIVER WHO WAS IN THE COUNTRY ILLEGALLY (in prepared remarks): “President Donald Trump is the first political leader we’ve ever seen take on the radical left to finally secure our border and to end illegal immigration since day one.

“President Trump knows what it takes to make America great again." CRIS PETERSON, WISCONSIN DAIRY FARMER (in prepared remarks):

“Life is a core tenet of who we are as Americans. This election is a choice between two radical, anti-life activists, and the most pro-life President we’ve ever had. That’s something that should compel you to action.” BOB VLAISAVLJEVICH, MAYOR OF EVELETH, MINNESOTA (in prepared remarks):

“Four years later, I am happy to say that after decades of despair, the Iron Range is roaring back to life and we have one man to thank: President Donald Trump. He has made good on all of his campaign promises, and then some. He has fought to give us a fair chance to compete.” (Compiled by Sonya Hepinstall; Editing by Peter Cooney)
