I will vote adamantly against the interests of my district if I actually think what I am doing is going to be helpful.

We're representing our districts. I make decisions on my district.

I look forward to representing the voters of District 30 and moving the state in a new direction.

Sen. Clinton carried our district, and it is difficult to vote against your constituents.

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

I can't tell anyone to vote.

You're not going to get a chance to vote for me on the ballot, but you can actually vote for what I believe in.

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.

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

You can't put civil rights on the ballot.
