Pennsylvania Senate candidate Kathy Barnette discusses voter concerns, Philadelphia crime surge

Pennsylvania Senate candidate Kathy Barnette discussed some of the top concerns she is hearing from voters in the state in a Friday interview with Fox News Digital.

"I think when people see me, they see someone who's not a career politician. They see themselves," Barnette, who is also a homeschooling mother of two, said. "They see someone who will fight for all those things that allowed me, a little Black girl who grew up under a rock, to be able to carve out a life for herself that America is fast closing. So I think they see a fighter, but I think they also see someone who understands what is at stake."

What is at stake in America, exactly? A lot of things, according to Barnette — but in particular, "the first five rights in the First Amendment," including freedom of speech, freedom of religion, freedom of the press, freedom of assembly and freedom to petition the government.
