I haven't let Washington change me.

I don't think I'm really open to having Washington change me.

I'm not a career politician, so the ways of Washington may be a little obscure to me.

Most of the people who live in Washington come from other places and you can learn something from them.

I haven't been in Washington long, but I have learned that it is a place filled with people who say one thing to get elected and do the opposite once they get there.

I am not the candidate of career politicians in Washington.

I don't go to Washington to represent the president; I go to represent the people of this district.

Washington is like playing the Super Bowl, only there are no timeouts, no potty breaks, and the arena is filled with the media. In government, you have to learn to put yourself second in a big way. But I am a business person at heart. I like to be in charge.
