Political Quotes

The Senator comes over here and talks about her philosophy of government. I am talking about people, people who are going to be impacted by a bill that is based on an excellent idea.

The reason I think I won these elections, sometimes unexpectedly, is because I said to the people of my State, 'I will go and fight for you. I will walk hand in hand with the Republicans when I agree with them, but when they go too far, I will fight for you.'”
