"I am proud to have served on Senator Kerry's staff when he was first elected."

"We face a serious housing crisis, and we need to be prepared to work closely across party lines and with HUD in the effort to minimize the impact of foreclosures on our communities."

"It isn't often that a Senator gets to appear before a committee to recommend confirmation for not one but two former members of their staff."

"Happy Earth Day to all, and I think it is an appropriate topic, obviously, for us to be grappling with today."
