Throughout the 40 years I've been in Washington, I've always worked hard, particularly with regards to the budget issues.

If you spend enough time in or around Washington, you'll meet amazing people who work for the government.

We need someone who has the experience - and the demeanor - to be the president of the United States.

I'm doing a good job in Washington.

My message to Washington is very simple. Face reality. Be leaders. Demonstrate accountability. Engage in principle compromise. And understand your job is to find solutions.

I don't want to come to Washington to be just another vote. I want to lead on issues that are important.

I know what I am in Washington to do: I'm here to fight for hardworking families.

I'm willing to meet with anyone, Democrat or Republican, who has a good idea, an open mind and a willingness to come together to tackle the challenges we face.

I am willing to work with anyone that wants to do what is best for this country.

I very, very much want to be involved in helping those senators, congressmen, and women who support the principles that made America great.
