Political Quotes

“As you know as somebody who led an incredibly distinguished business career, integrity and confidence are the key building blocks in any institution. We take a solemn oath here to our Constitution and to represent our constituents free of any conflicts of interest whatsoever. When we come here on the Senate floor, our constituents have to know that our only guiding light is what is best for our States, what is best for the people of our States, and what is best for the United States of America. Engaging in any way in a prediction market or trying to place bets where we might have insider information deteriorates the confidence our constituents have in us.

I am presenting a resolution that makes that crystal clear.”
