Political Quotes

“I have been here 4 years and have grown to deeply and passionately, not only love this institution, but love people on both sides of the aisle. When I hear people like the gentleman from California come here and make statements about people not doing their job and not working hard, I want the people to know, everybody in this institution that I know have works their tails off. This institution means more than either one of our political parties. It must be held up. If not, the cynicism in this country is going to grow. I strongly encourage Members on both sides to say what they mean and mean what they say and quit using words that demean this institution. It is not in our best interest. It is not to our children's best interest. What is in their best interest is to know that we all work hard and do our very best for the people that we represent.”
