I want to do my part in fighting for America's future. That's why I have decided to run for the United States Senate.

I can honestly say that being a United States Senator has been the honor of my life.

I never thought I would end up being the Senator from New York.

There's a new role that I see for myself with the new Republican majority running the Senate. I am now the premiere ambassador for the state from the Republican majority.

I've always been intrigued by the Senate, and admired many of the people who have served there.

I just know that I'm innovative. I'm a quick thinker... In Washington, I just want to be a senator who finds a way to drive change and not figure out a way to conform.

If you want a senator who'll partner with the president to do what's best for the nation, I'm your guy.

I'm very happy where I am: I'm a senator from Ohio.

I may have grown cynical from long service, but this is a tendency I do not like, and I sometimes think I'd rather be a dog and bay at the moon than stay in the Senate another six years and listen to it.
