As Senator, I’ll have just one job: stand up for the people of New Hampshire every single day.

I'll have one job: stand up for the people of New Hampshire every single day... I don't need to make anyone in Washington happy. It's all about our state, our communities, our economy, and our small businesses.

I have had the opportunity through many years and many positions to work with the GSA, and I just think it plays such a vital role in making our government function.

He is unquestionably, as Governor Ridge said, very able, very well qualified, and I take the perspective that we are fortunate as citizens to have him step up and take on this responsibility.
