I will vote adamantly against the interests of my district if I actually think what I am doing is going to be helpful.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
If you're going to do something to hurt the district I represent, I can't vote for it.
We're representing our districts. I make decisions on my district.
We're doing everything we can to solidify my base of support in the 4th Congressional district.
I represent the views and the values of the people of the district.
Every decision I make in Congress will be centered on the needs of the district.
A lot of times, you're just so determined to get everything that you're going to vote 'no' if you don't. But if you get 75% of what you want and what your district wants, you should be satisfied with that.
What I try to do is tell my constituents that this is what I believe and this is why I made that vote. And I think that that makes more sense to people generally than trying to triangulate some political position.
I look forward to representing the voters of District 30 and moving the state in a new direction.
I will go on doing what voters tell me to do, which is working with others, working out solutions, and getting results.
My federal, state, and local experience will allow me the opportunity to effectively represent the constituents of the Fourth District.
