1. Mehmet Oz:

   I have discussed it with President Trump and we can not move on, as all the other candidates up here have outlined, under the cover of Covid there were draconian changes made to our voting laws by Democratic leadership, and they have blocked appropriate reviews of some of those decisions. We have to be serious about what happened in 2020, and we won't be able to address that until we can really look under the hood.

2. Doug Collins:

   It is my hope that your draconian inquisitions are not returning this committee to the dark days of 16th-century England.

3. Glenn Youngkin:

   The fact that businesses are still dealing with COVID-19 related penalties and fines is infuriating, livelihoods are on the line. In the previous administration, we saw our government shut down businesses, close our schools, and separate us from each other. While we can’t undo the damage done during the Northam administration, we are taking action going forward to end COVID-era draconian overreach.

4. Commissioner Ricky Arriola:

   Where is that leadership now? we will not bend to the will of the mob. We will continue to enforce our laws. We're in a bad spot right now because we're taking draconian actions, such as curfews, that impair businesses… the convenience of our residents.

5. Joe Biden:

   Donald Trump has turned Donald Trump back on the very people Donald Trump promised to help. Remember how Donald Trump was going to help the middle class, the cops, the firefighters, construction workers, auto workers, farmers, teachers, home health care workers... so many folks in places like Delaware, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Michigan, Wisconsin who have been whipsawed by changing world economy and left behind draconian policies of this administration, everybody knows who Donald Trump is. We've got to be clear who we are, who we are. We've got to understand that we Democrats, we choose hope over fear. We choose unity over division and we choose truth over lies.
