The only people whose opinions I worry about are my wife, my children, and my employees.

Well, I was 29 years old when I came to the United States Senate, and I have learned a lot.

I worry about putting food on the table, paying for my kids needs, their college fees in years to come. It's about earning enough to have a living to be able to look after your children.

I tell people I won't vote to go to war unless I'm ready to go or send my kids.

I worry about kids today not having time to build a tree house or ride a bike or go fishing. I worry that life is getting faster and faster.

We have the American people properly concerned about the future of our country and the world.

I'm running for senator because it's time for a change.

I grew up in a family that nearly lost everything, but I ended up in the United States Senate because I grew up in an America that invested in kids like me and built a real future for us.

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'm a liberal where children are concerned, a libertarian where adults are concerned - and thinking very seriously about running for the House of Representatives, for whatever that's worth.
