“Having worked with the Senator for the entire time I have been in the Senate, the fact that he was a mayor has certainly helped me understand why he knows so much about budgetary matters.

He has a great educational background. He is a good athlete. He is a fine man. The fact that he was a mayor only adds to his qualifications.”
