On the recordOctober 3, 2016
When I ran for Congress--and I am in my first term--my campaign slogan was 'less hassle, more freedom,' and it was about this very kind of issue where Americans want to live their lives with less hassle from the Federal Government, and they want to have more freedom to raise their families, to create jobs, to grow communities, and sometimes we get in the way of that in the Federal Government, which I think is the classic example of what is happening here with over-reach.
