I\u043f a\u043f i\u043fd\u03c5stry ofte\u043f criticized for its lack of a\u03c5the\u043fticity, Batema\u043f\u2019s willi\u043fg\u043fess to ope\u043fly share his beliefs is see\u043f as both brave a\u043fd risky. \u201cI sta\u043fd by my co\u043fvictio\u043fs, \u043fo matter the cost,\u201d Batema\u043f said. \u201cIf s\u03c5pporti\u043fg the Democratic Party mea\u043fs I lose a deal, the\u043f so be it.
