As a Representative of the largest border district in the country, I share frustrations with my colleagues.
I'm not excited about the direction that we've started - the direction that we've kind of taken, this place, this tit for tat.
The speaker vote is the easiest vote we'll take in Congress. And it was pretty chaotic.
