“Everything is on fire in our country and it’s not working,” she bluntly said at a recent debate.

But behind the direct rhetoric is a deeper story.

“I grew up in a home with no insulation, no running water, an outhouse in the back, and a well on the side,” Barnette told CBN News….

“I am the byproduct of a rape,” Barnette told CBN News while sharing her story through tears.

“My mother was 11 years old when I was conceived. My father was 21 and I am so grateful to God that there were adults in the room. I’m so grateful to God that there were people who came alongside my very young mother when she was in a very broken place, and there I was, in her womb. I took no part in how I was conceived and yet there I was.”

Barnette will be forever thankful.

“They saw me as someone with value,” she said. “I’m so grateful. How simple and yet today, we have murdered over 63 million babies because somehow, we have convinced ourselves that life has no value, that life has no purpose. My life is valuable. My life has purpose….”

Barnette found Jesus after a dream about the Book of Revelation. She heard an audible voice saying, ‘go back home’ and recalls telling God something specific on the way….

“I believe it was during that time on that train ride from California to Alabama that I gave my life to the Lord….”

Barnette became the first in her family to finish college, saw success in the corporate world, and is now running for United States Senator.

As a homeschooling mom of two, she’s tired of the indoctrination school kids are under every day….

She makes a habit of calling out Democrats for using black voters to their advantage….

The May Primary is hotly contested in a state that could determine which party controls the Senate. It’s a crowded GOP field….

While Barnette polls in the single digits, she’s gained a strong grassroots following. She points out that neither opponent is from Pennsylvania….

“I want to finish this race and hear the Lord say, ‘Well done my good and faithful servant,’ Barnette said. ‘You ran your race that was in front of you.'”

For the voters of her state, she wants an America that gives others the opportunities that she herself got. Her supporters are praying for her to do just that in Pennsylvania.
