I'm constantly looking for ways to learn and elevate your craft, patience for yourself, and patience for this business. It's not a fair business. You may be great, but it may take years for someone to notice what you're capable of because of politics.

If I could create one job in the private sector by helping to grow a business, that would be one more than Congress has created in the last six months.

I very, very much want to be involved in helping those senators, congressmen, and women who support the principles that made America great.

When I came to Congress, I came to bring what I thought was a real-world business perspective to government because, in the business world, I spent over 20 years in the high-tech industry, but it certainly was not unique.

We in Congress need to do everything possible to encourage and cultivate small businesses, so that they can expand and create jobs. Far too often, however, U.S. small businesses are impeded by government paperwork and bureaucratic red tape.

I came to Congress to help reduce spending.

Promoting job creation and economic growth in the Hudson Valley is one of my top priorities in Congress.

The Small Business Administration was fundamental in helping our company. There's great initiative from the government if you know the right places to look.

I loved my time in Congress, but people who spend all of their time planning to run for office have very few useful skills to deploy when they finally get there.

We've got to help small businesses because they are the backbone of our economy. We've got to increase opportunities for everyone and we can do that by helping women and minority-owned businesses.
