U.S. House of Representatives

My diagnosis of Congress is these people know what to do. They just can't bring themselves to do it, even when it would benefit them politically.

I’m confident I will be elected.

And I will not be supporting Chuck to be reelected as the Democratic leader.

The time is now for change.

They understand that their job title is representative, not rubber stamp.

This is a new generation of leadership that wants to do things differently and shake up Washington.

I’ve actually learned some things.

We need to ensure that working families are not left behind in this economy.

I will uphold the law that protects our communities from federal overreach.

The Department of Justice continues to illegally withhold over 2.5 million pages of documents.

Our work is just getting started.

We need to have that out in the open to show the American people that a new day has come and that their votes meant a new direction in Washington.

It was an election across the country, in red states and blue states, where people were looking around them and saying, 'What is going on in America, when I am struggling to put food on the table, pay for healthcare, pay for housing, and…

We're going to see all these Republicans who said, 'Oh, we lost this election because of the war,' will they still vote for it?

This is not the end of it. It's just the beginning.

I wasn't surprised, but I was disappointed.

My deepest gratitude to every Republican, Democrat, and Independent who placed their trust in me. This victory sends a message beyond Miami: We prevailed because we LISTENED.

I want somebody that's going to message, and admit that we made some — we made mistakes.

I personally have known Chuck Schumer for over 30 years, and I like Chuck. Nobody who works harder than Chuck Schumer. But in my view, the time is now for change, and I will not be supporting Chuck to be reelected as the Democratic leader.

This is just purely for people to get attention, and it's shameful.

I'm confident I will be elected majority leader.

Over the next two years, House Republicans will fight for American families. When Democrats offer more government, we'll offer more freedom.

Maine has endured too much chaos and violence at the hands of this rogue, unaccountable agency already.

Mainers deserve to know what’s happening in their communities and I’m continuing to monitor the situation closely.
