I've been around Congress long enough to know there are issues we may never see eye-to-eye from the opposite aisle, but we should all agree that our job is to move America forward and benefit the people.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
With Americans worried about losing their jobs, their savings, their homes and their chance at the American Dream, the New Direction Congress will work in a bipartisan way to lift our economy and help America's middle class.
We represent people, and any good congressperson wants to know how their people at home feel about issues. I can tell you for sure in our office that is taken into account, and that is true for any congresspersons I know.
If you look through history, all of the great work we've done in Congress has been around a table of compromise, when it comes to the most difficult problems.
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.
I strongly believe that crossing the aisle for the good of the American people is more important than party politics.
Bipartisanship is nice, but it cannot be a substitute for action, not having it cannot prevent us from going forward.
I think that people on both sides of the aisle are rejecting what's going on with Washington and the establishment.
We will face the challenges head on. We will work with both parties, across the aisle, to make our state better.
I was entirely comfortable reaching across the Senate aisle to work with Democrats.
Whatever their motivations, lawmakers on both side of the aisle have certainly discovered that immigration is one of those issues that resonate strongly with the public.
