Political Quotes

On the recordDecember 18, 2019
No one came to Congress to impeach a President. We came here to solve the mighty issues that impact the lives of the constituents we pledged to serve. I am here because too many families in my district still rely on water trucked in from dozens of miles away. I am here because too many New Mexican children still go to school hungry. I am here because too many women in New Mexico drive for hours to find a doctor able to care for them. But this moment has found us. We have reached a point in time where our love of country compels action, where our duty to this republic mandates that we do what is right. The President's behavior is so blatantly wrong that ignoring his abuses of power would be abdicating the oath we made to protect this country and uphold our Constitution.
