Some moments in history call for more of the same.
Others call for something different.
Patty McMahon believes America has reached one of those moments. In these videos, she shares why she believes the challenges facing our country require a different kind of representative in Congress.
Break the Cycle
What happens when voters stop believing they have only two choices?
In this video, Patty compares America's two-party system to an unhealthy relationship, one in which voters are convinced they need the parties more than the parties need them.
She argues that the real power belongs to the voters and that Congress won't change until citizens demand better
Patty explains why she is running for a single term, why she refuses to spend her time in office fundraising for reelection, and why she believes it's time to restore accountability, fiscal responsibility, and Congress's focus on serving the American people instead of political parties.
Foreign Policy, Alliances & Leadership
How should the United States respond when its allies disagree with military action?
Drawing on her 35 years of federal experience, Patty uses a workplace analogy to explain why disagreement does not necessarily mean disloyalty.
She argues that allies should not be criticized for declining to join a conflict they never agreed to enter.
​
The video explores the importance of respecting the sovereignty and decisions of other nations, maintaining strong alliances even when disagreements arise, and focusing criticism on the source of a conflict rather than on partners who choose a different course.
Patty discusses why effective leadership requires respecting boundaries, understanding differing perspectives, and preserving long-term relationships with America's allies.
Leadership Without Division
Can America become stronger without tearing each other down?
In this video, Patty explains why criticizing a leader's behavior is not the same as hating the person. She shares her belief that America is strongest when its leaders inspire, unite, and elevate people rather than divide them through insults and personal attacks.
​
Patty discusses how the United States is viewed abroad, why words matter in leadership, and why making America "great" begins with treating one another with dignity and respect.
She argues that Americans, regardless of political party, are one national family and that the path forward is through encouragement, accountability, and unity rather than name-calling.
Campaign Announcement
Why is Patty McMahon running for Congress?
Patty announces her campaign for Colorado's 6th Congressional District and explains why she believes voters deserve more than a choice between the two major political parties.
​
Pointing to the large number of registered voters who chose not to vote in the last election, Patty encourages citizens to make their voices heard and reminds them that elections are decided by those who participate.
Her message is simple: if you want change, VOTE!
And prove the political establishment wrong.
