The issues that we face as a country and in South Florida aren't broken down by city line or county line.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
In Florida, we are focused on economic growth and not on things that divide us.
I'll give you a great example of an issue that no one brought up during this Florida primary, the fact that we're going to have a Chinese made oil rig put in place about 60 miles off the coast of Florida.
The problems we face aren't Democratic problems or Republican problems. These are Maryland's problems.
Ohioans, I think, in large numbers, have felt that the government has not been on their side in all of these issues: on pensions, on the cost of prescription drugs, on the health-care system generally, on jobs, on trade agreements.
Cities around the United States do not have land use planning like we have in Oregon, and they are all struggling with issues like affordable housing.
Even if it's a national issue, the federal government cannot provide all the answers.
But the issue has to do with land, which is our land.
The only thing I'm running for is the state line.
Cities are not problems. They are solutions.
There are no problems that exist in the District that have been solved elsewhere in the country. Whatever problems exist in this city exist other places.
