Congresswoman-elect Kat Cammack goes from homeless to the House: 'Only in America' is this possible, she says© FoxNews.com Congresswoman-elect Kat Cammack, R-Fla., addresses her historic congressional win on 'Fox & Friends Weekend.'
Congress is welcoming 13 new GOP women into the House of Representatives, including Congresswoman-elect Kat Cammack, R-Fla., who told "Fox & Friends Weekend" she's gone from being homeless to being a U.S. representative.
"I'm so honored that I have the trust and support of the constituents of Florida's 3rd Congressional District," she said. "Only in America can someone go from homeless to the House of Representatives in under a decade."
Cammack will be joining the 117th Congress as the youngest GOP woman in history, which she said has her feeling "so incredibly humbled and grateful."
In 2011, Cammack's family lost the cattle ranch she grew up on due to a failed Obama program. According to her website, her family was forced to evict and pushed into homelessness for months. Later that year, Rep. Ted Yoho, R-Fla., invited Cammack to join his campaign, on which she served as the longtime deputy chief of staff and campaign manager.
As a representative, Cammack said it's important to share American comeback stories such as hers in order to defend the construct of the Constitution.
"In order to serve and to take that oath to our United States Constitution, you have a long road to travel," she said. "For me, being the daughter of a single mother, our family losing everything… When we share out stories and show people that you can really achieve beyond your wildest dreams, I think that is what brings us together."
"My story is not a Republican story. It's not a Democrat story. It's an American story," she said. "At this point in time in our divided nation, we need people that look at the problems and solutions as Americans. Not as one party vs. another."

Look at them conservative women going to D.C.
Reminds me of Terrance Williams and his book:
I read it, it was fascinating. I don't agree with him 100%, but there were a lot of times I was shaking my head in agreement as I was reading.
Congratulations, Representative-elect Commack! But, please be careful ... AOC and her socialist squad have most likely already added you to their "list".
Why was she homeless?
People will just keep cutting and pasting what is posted on Kat's bio webpage.
It would be nice if there were any link, or name of any Obama program that would result in ranchers being evicted from their properties.
Basic Farm Loans? Foreclosures usually take a year sometimes more.
Don't know, seems it's much easier to blame a former Administration policy rather than, maybe her parents mismanaged their debt, after all this was two or three tears after the financial meltdown.
Just seems like it needs more flesh to pass the smell test.
In 2011 Obama reduced some subsidies to farmers. It wasn't a failed program it was part of the budget.
Next time she has a ''town hall'' if the pandemic is over I'll be there and ask her to explain it. I live in her district.
The farmer's subsidies are the same ones that Clinton and George Bush proposed to get rid of.
Take cookies, Macadamia cookies, lol.
That's what I thought. She just made a bunch of proclamations with no facts to back anything up.
Now that she is elected, I wouldn't expect to see one.
Intentionally vague is easier.
Ironically, her platform doesn't include a damn thing about protecting farmers OR ranchers even though her district is mostly rural. She's all about 'supporting the Trump Administration' to build the wall, protect the 2nd Amendment and overturning Roe though.
Her district is roughly 50% rural. Marion county which is part of her district has over 700 horse farms so we'll see what happens. The district is very red so probably nothing.
Well judging from her predecessor/mentors record, they could be members of the 'Do nothing' party.
Good old Ted Yoho, Mr. Doolittle.
Congratulations Ms. Cammack!
If the first term Congresswoman is to get the same respect shown to AOC may liberals call her a slut?
What about bitch? Is whore allowed? I never know.
