In the '80s, Ronald Reagan inspired me to become politicized, because I grew up in that era when everything I cared about was under attack.

And so it was interesting for me to find myself very enamored of a Republican president, but Ronald Reagan was someone I thought captured the spirit of America.

I've been very fortunate to work for great people - so even when the political process gets ugly, I find inspiration in the people around me.

I'm a Ronald Reagan conservative, I'm an economic conservative, I'm strong military. But I also voice and speak and work hard on the social issues.

I am a Reagan Republican.

I entered politics from a completely different background from other people in this field, and that has helped me to see and deal with things differently.

I was a big fan of Ronald Reagan. He was the first president I got to vote for.

Ronald Reagan became, you know, not only a Republican but a pretty conservative Republican - not the most. But a pretty conservative Republican. And he's somebody that I actually knew and liked. And he liked me. And I worked with him and helped him.

I always wanted to become president! When I was a kid, I was obsessed with politics.
