She also touches on issues such as illegal immigration, law and order, and the upcoming election in Massachusetts.

Susanne Conley is a first-time candidate for the Second Barnstable District in Massachusetts.

"They're coming to this country because it's a great country, it's a land of opportunity.
There are freedoms here, but these leftists who welcome them, at the same time,
are trying to install the kind of government they are fleeing from.
That irony doesn't escape me at all."

• Wind turbines off the coast of Cape Cod could have a significant impact on the environment and residents' livelihoods.
• Campaigning in a tourist destination presents unique challenges for candidates.

"Democrats can tell me until they're blue in the face that the economy is outperforming expectations, but if I have to put off a vacation with my kids because my paycheck isn't going as far as it used to, that's a feeling that those numbers can't change." ~Jennifer Nassour
