I have a problem with the way the House is run. I believe that a few people at the top of a pyramid of power have controlled this place for a long time.
There's a picture there that people realize that, we stop helping Israel, we lose God's hand, and we're in big time trouble.
Do I like foreign aid? Sometimes, but not every time. Don't like giving money to our enemies, but I love giving money to Israel.
For most of my time in Tallahassee, I did a lot of transportation.
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.
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.
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.
