If you ask me to compromise on principle, I will get out the veto pen.

It is a great privilege for any man to become a member of the Senate.

I will not vote for - and no senator should vote for - anyone who will not render justice impartially.

I'm interested in being part of a majority in the Senate.

But on the big things, I'm not going to trim in order to win public opinion. Because I really don't want to serve in the Senate if I arrive there without permission to do the things I think need to be done.

I shall always be consistent and never change my ways so long as I am in my senses; but for the sake of precedent the Senate should beware of binding itself to support the acts of any man, since he might through some mischance suffer a change.

I feel that I am best positioned to fight for America's future here in the trenches of the United States Senate.

In the United States Senate, we cannot do great things without reaching across the aisle and working together - and I look forward to the challenges ahead.

My husband is the first man to consistently be involved in the Senate Spouses group.
