Quote

Congress never loses its capacity to disappoint you.

I never believed that my service in the U.S. Congress should become a permanent career.

I was never supposed to make it to Congress. I was a staff person.

I enjoyed my stay in the Congress. Most people do not. And too many people who have been elected really don't understand the nature of government.

I never thought I would run for Congress. If you look back at a certain reality TV show, you know that.

I've had a growing conviction that Congress is not operating as it should. There is much too much partisanship and not enough progress.

I was never a fan of Barack Obama's bipartisanship routine.

Congress is dysfunctional.

I mean, it's pretty disillusioning for all of us right now, and we feel pretty helpless when Congress, their approval rating is thirteen percent, and across the board, whether you're a Democrat or a Republican, you sort of want to walk in and fire everybody.
