It is time for new leadership, new direction, and new results in Washington, D.C., and that is why I am running for United States Senate.

I will always support a vote. The constitution gives the president the right to appoint justices with the advice and consent of the Senate. The Senate does have the right to say no; they do not have the right to say nothing.

The people have the right to know whether or not the person they elect has the capacity to represent them.

You have to be committed to the people and willing to do what is in their best interest even when it isn't in your best interest, and you have to be committed to getting results even if you don't get the credit.

The appalling reality in American politics today is that, when ideology and money mix, truth is a mere inconvenience.

When Lincoln ran into trouble during the Civil War, he got new generals. He brought in Grant. I hope that President Obama will bring in some new generals on the financial front.

Well obviously the economy is critical to everything we do and we need to get the economy back in shape, the deficit down, the debt paid off, so that the economy can grow again and grow properly.

As the economy turns, one of the most significant impediments to economic growth is going to be labor availability.
