What matters most to me is doing what I was elected to do: help make life better for Oregonians and making America work for working Americans again.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Promoting job creation and economic growth in the Hudson Valley is one of my top priorities in Congress.
Oregonians have many good reasons to be proud of our election system.
Those life experiences that helped shaped my political beliefs are with me in every position I take and every vote that I cast - whether it be in favor of comprehensive immigration reform, strengthening Social Security and Medicare, or improving our nation's education system.
My top three priorities for my first term in Congress are growing our economy; providing for quality, affordable health care; and keeping our nation and communities safe.
I went to Massachusetts to make a difference. I didn't go there to begin a political career running time and time again. I made a difference. I put in place the things I wanted to do.
My focus has been on being a good congressman, and there is so much other work to do.
For me it's more important to look at each constituency individually and find a community I feel I can serve to the best of my abilities, and where I feel I can make a real difference, and further their cause.
I really enjoyed my time in state government. I thought we made a difference. I liked being a part of that effort. I had a different experience in Washington.
As president, I'm committed to making Washington work better and rebuilding the trust of the people who sent us here.
My highest priority is the safety of all Oregonians and their communities.
