I have the experience and ability to step in on day one in Washington and start working on the challenging problems facing our country.

I'm doing a good job in Washington.

As Washington prospers, workers suffer.

I've been a political junkie for a long time. I find the way Washington works is just fascinating to me.

I'm coming to Washington, D.C., to do the people's work. And the people's work has to do with reducing spending and cutting budgets and, and trying to get a grip on the size of government.

For more than eight decades, Washington has been my hometown. My whole orientation is toward this place.

Washington is like playing the Super Bowl, only there are no timeouts, no potty breaks, and the arena is filled with the media. In government, you have to learn to put yourself second in a big way. But I am a business person at heart. I like to be in charge.

I've been in Washington ever since 1981, trying to get out!

I know what I am in Washington to do: I'm here to fight for hardworking families.

If you spend enough time in or around Washington, you'll meet amazing people who work for the government.
