I don't think anyone enjoys raising money, but for some reason I seem to have a knack.

I hate raising money. It diverts you from what your real task is: to be a representative. You're diverted into preservation when you really want to spend your time and energy making a better state and a better country - which is the reason you ran in the first place.

Every time I've done a fund raiser, I've been blown away by the amount of money and the generosity that our fans have.

I don't know if people understand that there are different ways to raise money for great causes.

I'm concerned a little bit with the culture of celebrating the fundraise. My dad taught me that when you borrow money it's the worst day of your life.

I know about raising money.

I'm going to stop giving too much money to charity - the charity is going to become my family. I'm only half-kidding.
