Political Quotes

On the recordJune 12, 2015
I thank the ranking member. I believe, Mr. Speaker, that this is a vote for the ages. My constituents in Nebraska are asking me: ``Brad, can we govern? Can we come together? Can we move this country forward?'' What we do here today will determine how we do move forward as a nation. What kind of country do we leave our children? In my view, Mr. Speaker, we are at our best when we reach for the Moon. This, in my view, is one of those moments. This is a vote for better jobs, a stronger economy for American workers and for American exceptionalism. I believe, Mr. Speaker, that this is a vote for the ages. Please support TAA and TPP and TPA to make life better for all Americans.
