Political Quotes

“Over the last several weeks, I have had the opportunity to meet with my constituents in senior centers, farmers' markets, small businesses, and on factory floors to hear directly from them about their priorities. They are worried about the enormous challenges facing our country, such as ISIS and the spread of Ebola, but most of all, they are worried about the future and the future of their families. They spoke about the need to raise the minimum wage, invest in public safety, enact comprehensive immigration reform, strengthen public education, make college more affordable, and, most importantly, getting them back to work. Now that the elections are over, we shouldn't waste a single day without getting to work on their priorities. Like me, I am sure many of my colleagues heard the same message about creating jobs, growing the economy, and rebuilding the middle class. The American people want a Congress that gets things done and works for them instead of a Congress looking to score political points. While our economy has recovered, too many Americans feel left out of that recovery. So as we bring this Congress to an end and begin to prepare for the next Congress, we should all renew our commitment to the American people and remember whom we were sent here to serve. ____________________”
