Political Quotes

“I will tell you it is clear from conversations with my constituents in western Pennsylvania, and I know from people all over this country, they think our system is rigged: rigged against hardworking people, rigged for giant corporations and the rich and the powerful.

You talk to people in western Pennsylvania, you talk to people all over this country who think it is ridiculous that folks in power and elected office get rich off the inside and sensitive information that we learn in our jobs serving the people, representing the people who elect us.”
