Quote

I'm devoted to my family and my businesses.

I am proud to represent people who care so deeply about their communities. Their perseverance and strength only motivates me more as their representative in Congress.

Family farms and small businesses are the backbone of our communities.

Just as important as our society as a whole are our small communities: our neighborhoods, workplaces and schools.

I represent the views and the values of the people of the district.

I regard my organization as one big family.

I have long ties to the women's community.

We need to preserve our neighborhoods, our small business, our local economy.

I think what's great about your community is that it's different than anyone else's. Look around. What do you want to change? What needs to be built, or what's valuable and needs to be maintained? Is it the people? Local animals? Your parks or gardens? Hospitals?

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.
