TAKING ON BIG TECH
JOSH HAWLEY | 39
By Ted Cruz
Josh Hawley came to Washington as a
man on a mission.
As young Americans embrace the
omnipotent presence of social media in
their lives, the U.S. Senate’s youngest
member is fighting the behemoths of
the digital age, from warning about the
dangers of screen addiction to working
to strengthen privacy protections for
children online. The coastal elites
behind Big Tech have met their match
in a man from rural Missouri, who works
with Republicans and Democrats alike
to prevent Big Tech from slithering into
Americans’ private lives.
The ranks of the conservative
movement are filled by a mix of
fighters—from high-minded scholars
to political warriors. Hawley embodies
the best qualities the movement
has to offer: impressive intellectual
acumen and populist fire. Combined,
these qualities make him a force to be
reckoned with. This Senator from the
Show Me State is showing up.

RALLYING THE FAR RIGHT
JORDAN BARDELLA | 24
Jordan Bardella was a political neophyte
when he led the ticket in last May’s
European Union elections for Marine
Le Pen’s far-right National Rally party.
Yet he—and his fierce anti-immigrant
message—edged out President
Emmanuel Macron’s group, with National
Rally coming in first in France. Now a
member of the E.U. Parliament and
his party’s second vice president, the
politician says his priorities are “stopping
immigration and protecting our economy.”
Bardella’s nationalist fervor has been
welcomed by Le Pen, who
has struggled to define her
party’s role ever since
Macron crushed her in the
2017 presidential race.
With his hard-line views
in the E.U., Bardella
can now try to define
it for her.

ADVOCATING FOR
ARIZONA
KYRSTEN SINEMA | 43
By Mark Kelly
Between her service to
Arizona and the country, and
her athletic achievements in
Ironman competitions, Senator
Kyrsten Sinema is always
moving forward, fast.
Kyrsten comes from
humble roots and a family that
struggled to make ends meet. At
each step in her life and career,
she stared down long odds and
overcame them with the fierce
determination of someone who
earned every opportunity she
received.
She began her public service
as a social worker. That helped
shape Kyrsten into a rarity these
days—a public servant focused
on the work, not the noise. She
represents Arizona in exactly
the way she promised she
would.
Kyrsten is fiercely
independent. She is dedicated
to making health care affordable
and to serving our veterans,
and laser-focused on things
that keep families up at night.
She works hard to create more
opportunities for those families.
Senator Sinema leads with
Arizona as her compass and
gets things done for everyday
Americans.
Kelly, a Democrat, is a former
astronaut, Navy captain and a
candidate for the U.S. Senate
from Arizona
