As a candidate for Senate, I look forward to offering reforms based on limited government principles that will make our country stronger and more prosperous.

I think there's bipartisan support in the Senate to pass a good reform bill.

I certainly want campaign finance reform. I just wish this would do it in a way that would stand up to a constitutional challenge.

It's an embarrassment that we don't have a broad enough consensus among political leaders that true reform should take place. I could count the members of Congress on one hand that took these issues seriously.

My viewpoint is the Senate is dysfunctional.

If the Senate can't perform its most basic responsibilities, I worry about how we're going to make the tough decisions and do the hard work that will be necessary to get our country on a path to fiscal solvency.

I know reform is never easy. But I know reform is right.

I want to have a good vote in the Senate so we send the message that the Republicans and the Democrats are together in favor of immigration reform.

Some of my colleagues seem more interested in using every procedural method possible to keep the Senate from doing anything than they are in creating jobs or helping Americans struggling in a difficult economy.
