Political Quotes

“This is a big shocker. I am new here, me and about 86 new people on my side. I watched last year as I was running for office to represent the 11th District of Illinois. I watched as this House failed to produce a budget, which is why we are where we are today.

That's good. Everybody has a right to do that. This is the people's House. But what happens if you are unable to do that through a legislative process?

We were sent here in November to stand up and say the will of the people will be respected in the House of Representatives and the will of the people will be respected by the Federal Government.”
