In Congress, I was a relentless advocate for fiscal responsibility.

Both my mothers family and my fathers family go back almost a hundred years in the district. I was born in the district, raised in the district, raised my family in the district. And so thats the way I see myself.

I grew up learning to do more with less.

We need to find a balance between protecting our local economies while pursuing the longer-term goal of producing clean, affordable and reliable power.

By boosting oversight and accountability, we can empower the VA in its core mission of helping the men and women who have served our country.

I have always been an independent voice for the folks in my district.

When millions of Americans are tightening their belts, folks have the right to expect their elected officials to do the same.
