Richard Ojeda: I'm not the establishment. People donating to me were people who were struggling. I didn't want to keep accepting their donations when I couldn't get a foot in the door--I wasn't listed as a Pres candidate even after two months.

Richard Ojeda: I wasn't out here for the billionaires; I was standing up for working people & the poor.

Richard Ojeda: There are a lot of billionaires out there realizing we need to fix the middle class. They're saying we need to do more to keep this country from falling, even though they have the means to pick up and move somewhere else if that happens.

Richard Ojeda: Racism isn't even hidden any more. People just say what they want to say.

Richard Ojeda: I think when they see the mark of the beast on their foreheads, it might say "MAGA."

Richard Ojeda: The problem with the Democratic party is...they suck. Just because you're a Democrat doesn't mean you're good. Democrats need to get back to being what a Democrat is: Taking care of working people, of veterans, of the sick.

Richard Ojeda: I love when they question @AOC about how are we going to pay for things, & I love her answer: How come we never have $ to pave roads, for education, but we can give trillions to the wealthy? Building roads in Afghanistan when they don't have cars?

Richard Ojeda: I put up a resolution as a WV Senator to look into Appalachia Power--there were single-wide trailers on the side of a mountain with $700 heating bills. People were wrapping homes in plastic to try to cut down on bills.
@VoteOjeda2020

Richard Ojeda: Appalachia Power made donations to the right people & there was no investigation.

Richard Ojeda: I have kids in my back yard who are worse off than kids I saw in Afghanistan.

Richard Ojeda: We need to make it illegal for anyone who was in office to be a lobbyist.

Richard Ojeda: I am absolutely heartbroken to drop out of this race. If I were up on that stage, I'd make people say what needs to be said.

Richard Ojeda: We need to stop breaking our soldiers and then not take care of them when they come home.

Richard Ojeda: My voice and my fight won't end just because I'm no longer in the presidential race.
