While I am a Republican, I'm a conservative first and I'm a constitutional conservative, and in Washington some of the Republicans are oftentimes just as much a problem as some of the Democrats, and we need to elect more senators like Senator Rubio and others who will stand proudly as conservatives to do the right thing for our country.

Our country needs more bold, conservative leaders that will actually do what they promised to do prior to coming to Washington D.C.

Improving some of the rules under which the Senate functions can begin to replace some of the bad habits Washington has developed with better ones.

While it's true that Washington would benefit from more civility, the Senate, behind the scenes, is an extraordinarily collegial institution.

We'll keep sending more and more conservatives to Washington, and we'll eventually get these bills passed. But don't be afraid to pass good, strong, conservative legislation.

You can't go to Washington as a congressman and a senator and expect to make a difference all at once. You have to earn your way.

In the United States Senate, we cannot do great things without reaching across the aisle and working together - and I look forward to the challenges ahead.

We must return conservatives to the majority in the U.S. Senate.

Too often in Washington special interests urge us to fight one another just because we belong to different parties. It is time for this to stop and for Washington to focus on what needs to be done.
