For most of my life, I've considered myself a political centrist.

I consider myself a moderate Republican. I have very, very moderate social views, and I'm pretty strong on, on defense matters.

I'm personally a moderate and a registered independent, so I'm not strongly Democratic or strongly Republican.

I've been a speaker. I've been a majority leader. I've been a minority leader. Those are the sort of things I don't need any more.

By temperament and disposition and emotions, I'm a liberal; but in my beliefs about what's best for the country, I'm a centrist.

I believe I am a moderate Democrat: I am pro-business and also progressive.

I have always been an independent voice for the folks in my district.

I belong to the Democratic Party.
