“This year has been an extremely difficult year. No one has been more involved in everything we have done here than my friend from Montana. In true times of crisis--and we have had plenty of crises in the last 18 months, and he and I had a relationship before that. In the last 18 months, we were in the trenches together to work through some big problems we have here legislatively.

I enjoy working with him, and I enjoy his friendship.”
