Ashley emphasized her desire for “small government” and “freedom,” values she feels are not adequately upheld under the Biden-Harris leadership. For Ashley, these principles symbolize the core of what she hopes the next administration will restore.

 

Discussing her frustrations with the Biden-Harris administration, she pointed to issues like border control and rising crime. “Many things,” she replied when asked about her grievances, highlighting the border situation as a key concern. Crime, too, stood out as an issue. When prompted on this, Ashley responded firmly, “Yes,” underscoring her belief that the administration has not adequately addressed these problems.

Ashley’s perspective on Trump’s previous term reveals a nostalgia for what she believes was a stronger economy and a more positive national spirit. “Just felt like the people had more power and more frequency, the economy was better, and the overall spirit was better under Trump’s presidency,” she shared. For Ashley, these are not just campaign promises but changes she says she felt directly under Trump’s leadership.

 

As the election remains a highly contested race, Ashley said “It’s hard to tell,” she admitted, noting the unpredictability of the race. Yet her faith in Trump’s message remains strong. “I do, really,” she affirmed when asked if she believes Trump can “make America great again.”
