"Last month, our economy lost 598,000 jobs, which is nearly the equivalent of losing every single job in the state of Maine."

"I can say with complete confidence that endless delay or paralysis in Washington in the face of this crisis will only bring deepening disaster. I can tell you that doing nothing is not an option."

"I know that a new overpass downtown would make a big difference for businesses and families right here in Elkhart."

"My view is also that nobody is above the law, and if there are clear instances of wrongdoing that people should be prosecuted just like any ordinary citizen."
