hard-work people parent
My parents are very conservative. They taught me the value of hard work - dont depend on other people, do it yourself.
moving past issues
The first thing I plan to do is what I did while serving in Arizona’s legislature — and that was to seek out members that I often disagreed with on important issues. It was through our authentic relationships and mutual respect that we found common ground on legislation that helped people. The challenge for Congress is to move past the harsh partisanship that we saw in the last term. This is a critical step in advancing policies that will strengthen and protect LGBT families.
sports running thinking
I think what endurance sports teach you is to stay dedicated, stay focused, and also to understand youre going to have ups and downs, but you need to keep running right through them.
party waiting done
Hardworking families can no longer afford to wait for a Congress that gridlocks on ideology. I look forward to working with my colleagues from both parties to get things done.
deal deeply faith issue member private
I'm not a member of any faith community, and I think faith is a deeply personal issue that individuals should deal with in their private lives.
anyone church depend ethic family father government grew hard help individual life mix mother stepfather taught work
I kind of grew up with a mix of two things. One was kind of this individual work ethic that my father and my stepfather and my mother all taught me, which was never depend on anyone else to do things for you, and work really hard on your own. At the same time, I benefited from the help of church and family and government my whole life.
