Quote

I don't go to Washington to represent the president; I go to represent the people of this district.

I am not the candidate of career politicians in Washington.

I'm doing a good job in Washington.

As president, I'm committed to making Washington work better and rebuilding the trust of the people who sent us here.

I'm not a Washington person.

My message to Washington is very simple. Face reality. Be leaders. Demonstrate accountability. Engage in principle compromise. And understand your job is to find solutions.

I haven't let Washington change me.

I represent poor people, I represent working people. I represent senior citizens. I represent family businesses. I represent people who don't have the wherewithal to hire overpriced Washington lobbyists and lawyers. I want to send the powers back to the states and the people.

I know what I am in Washington to do: I'm here to fight for hardworking families.

I believe I was sent to Washington to fight for and defend our traditional values of smaller government, lower taxes, a strong national defense, and the lives of the unborn.
