I love serving in the U.S. House of Representatives, and I have especially enjoyed my time on the Ways and Means Committee.

One of the first members of Congress I met when I was first elected in 2008 was Barney Frank.

I was a heart surgeon before I came to Congress, and I've worked many holidays on behalf of my patients.

I have a reputation for being the hardest working person in Congress.

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

I just want to be a really good congressman. You should look at what you are today and be the very best you can.

I very, very much want to be involved in helping those senators, congressmen, and women who support the principles that made America great.

I think I will serve as secretary of state as my last public position.

I never thought I would run for Congress. If you look back at a certain reality TV show, you know that.
