Political Quotes

On the recordJanuary 13, 2010
Transparency and accountability is such an important part of what we need in government. And what I have seen since my election a little over a year ago... I thought when I came to Congress I had a responsibility to represent the people that I now work for. When I worked in health care, and I did that for 28 years, I only had one boss. It changed from time to time. Today, I feel a responsibility that I work for 660,000 really smart people, and that is the citizens that live and work in the Fifth Congressional District of Pennsylvania.
