I think the American public wants to see a change. They want a fresh start.

I ran for Congress because I want to help change the way we do business in Washington, D.C.

When you're on a football scholarship, you get a stipend that's supposed to cover your rent and a few incidentals. It was $360 a month. This was the late 1980s, and the NCAA has an interesting rule where you're not allowed to supplement your income with a part-time job.

The only good place for a sage grouse to be listed is on the menu of a French bistro. It does not deserve federal protection, period.

The time has come for President Obama to formally rescind his order to close the detention facility at Guantanamo Bay and end his irresponsible allegations of injustices at the facility, which operates in a framework that respects the rule of law, keeps terrorists off American soil, and bolsters our national security.

You don't raise taxes in times of such uncertainty.

Every time we spend a federal dollar, what we're doing is we're pulling money out of somebody's pocket, and we're giving it to somebody else.

From the time I roll out of the cot at 6 A.M. to the time I fall asleep after midnight, I get to do what I love nonstop.

I think what we're going to hear is that we didn't meet the basic, minimum standards required for a facility such as the one we had in Benghazi. And the request for more security personnel went unheeded, unanswered, and consequently, you know, you have the death of four Americans.

The fundamental problem is that President Obama has grown government. He has grown the private sector jobs.

We have got a - we've got a good federal work force, but we have too many people, and we're paying them too much money.

In addition to higher pay, federal government employment is far more secure than private-sector employment.
