My view is, Democrat, Republican, it doesn't matter, my view is I'm in Washington to try to work with people.

I'm a public servant. And I work for the American people.

We are in a movement that must not fade away. The bosses are you. The people in Washington are public servants, and they serve you.

If you spend enough time in or around Washington, you'll meet amazing people who work for the government.

Throughout the 40 years I've been in Washington, I've always worked hard, particularly with regards to the budget issues.

I always look at it that I work with my employees as opposed to them working for me.

I always get a little bit frustrated with Republicans, because we always talk about job creators, and really who we should be talking to is their employees.

I don't believe any person looking for work is fearful of political judgment. Government is a large institution, and if they believe that people are going to get rid of good employees for political reasons, that's absurd.

I've found that when you roll up your sleeves and join people in their daily work, they tend to open up quite a bit and let you know what they really think about the issues facing our country and what kind of job they think the government is doing.

I'm doing a good job in Washington.
