It's different from Washington in that in the legislature, you have to go home and have a job and actually make a living on your own. That gives you a different perspective.
I'm going to be as sincere as I can in delivering the message I think is right. If people agree, great, and if they don't, I did my best.
My whole deal is I want to have a principle-based, member-driven caucus.
I was told freshman Republicans don't get their bills heard.
We've got to prove that we can lead, and I'm going to be all-in to help prove that.
If we do our job right, then we have everything to stand on. If we don't do our job, we have everything to lose on.
I have a problem with the way the House is run. I believe that a few people at the top of a pyramid of power have controlled this place for a long time.
I always think I have a chance, and I always give it all I've got.
Power tends to protect itself merely to maintain its own status and control. Principle gives up power for the sake of creating the best public policy.
