Nevada is a little different than most states. We only meet every other year in the legislature. So it's very important to have good relationships on both sides of the aisle... I have to have those relationships.

I come home every weekend and I still can't believe I represent Las Vegas in Congress. It's such a kick.

In the good old days when I was a senator, I was my own man.

I don't know how the other senators see me. I hope they see me as a farmer. That's really what I am. But I don't think they see me on a tractor or fixing equipment. I hope they see me grounded, as somebody who has common sense.

I'm a results-oriented person and my Senate record shows that.

Nevada's one of the most conservative states in the Union, but you can do what you want in Vegas and nobody judges you.

People need to know, before I'm associated with any party, I am an American, and that's what I want to drive home at the RNC.

I am humbled and grateful for the four years the people of the state of Nevada have given me as governor and I am proud of the work we all did.

I don't think I need to prove anything to anybody.

I may fall here in the Senate chamber, but I will. never make any compromise with any such men.
