Political Quotes

“I thank you for this opportunity. Coming off the elections, everyone wants to know what the voters had on their minds. I'll share with you a few things that I heard from my voters in my district and throughout California--perhaps experiences similar from around America. They want jobs. They want to work. I think all of us in one way or another understands and feels within us the need to work. It's part of our lives. There are a few, undoubtedly, around who don't ever want to work--and okay for them--but for most Americans, they want a job. They want the opportunity to bring home a paycheck, to support their families--to provide for their food, their shelter, their opportunities for education, and to go on a vacation every now and then. That basic instinct--that basic desire to care for your family, to help build a community--I think is part of America. Americans want jobs. If there were ever a message from this year's elections, it's that.”
