Political Quotes

On the recordFebruary 26, 2018
I couldn't be in this job if I wasn't an optimist, believe me. I think people hear me. It is whether they are willing to act. There are bipartisan bills ready to go; bipartisan bills. Some bills are sponsored by Republicans, some by Democrats. They have a lot of cosponsors, but the leadership has to hear; the leadership has to want to do something. Actually, the leadership on both sides has been very, very silent, unfortunately. But I am hoping that the pressure will continue to be put on by everybody across this United States.
