Amy Phan West is running in the 2022 midterm elections to unseat progressive Rep. Katie Porter (D-Calif.) in California’s 45th congressional district. Phan West escaped communist Vietnam with her parents and four siblings in a fishing boat, and knows full well the cost of too much government control. She recently told The Epoch Times that she will do all she can to prevent the United States from slipping deeper into socialism.
“I’m just so tired of politicians who are so power-hungry and they no longer care about the American people anymore. And they’re pushing our nation into a socialist-communist country, which I escaped from, and I cannot afford that for my children or the American people … I will fight to defend our liberty, freedom, and our way of life at all costs,” West said in a recent interview.
