It's different from Washington in that in the legislature, you have to go home and have a job and actually make a living on your own. That gives you a different perspective.
If we do our job right, then we have everything to stand on. If we don't do our job, we have everything to lose on.
My job was to get a fair and open hearing to all ideas.
We have a spending problem, not a taxing problem. The less we spend, the more jobs we have the potential to create.
I'm not an angry kind of person. What I am is a principled person.
I'm going to be as sincere as I can in delivering the message I think is right. If people agree, great, and if they don't, I did my best.
I have one desire: That is to have a principle-based, member-driven Congress. Period. That's what I want.
I never talk about my opponent because I don't think it's my right to judge.
I'm the only person that has ever run a principle-based legislative body.
Nothing happens in any legislative body that's not purposeful.
The voters in District 8 shared our vision that Washington is broken, and we're going to go up there and fix it.
The principle is that every member needs to represent their district.
What really promotes business in this country is liberty, not demand for information.
