I think if more members of Congress would talk about what they see and what they want to do and what they want to accomplish, rather than talking about their opponent, we would begin to shape and reshape American public opinion on what the political world looks like.

I simply want to do what I can to have the best Congress possible representing the American people.

We ought to have more people who believe in constitutionally limited government. We have to have more people come to Congress with that mindset. I think we can make this a better place, if, when elections happen, we support candidates who share that philosophy.

The Congress plays a central role in our constitutional structure.

We shouldn't waste any more time in making sure that democracy is properly rooted in our political life and the supremacy of the law becomes an integral part of our state's structure.

Our representative democracy is not working because the Congress that is supposed to represent the voters does not respond to their needs. I believe the chief reason for this is that it is ruled by a small group of old men.

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

Being 'at the mercy of legislative majorities' is merely another way of describing the basic American plan: representative democracy.

I have one desire: That is to have a principle-based, member-driven Congress. Period. That's what I want.
