Mile by mile, it's a trial; yard by yard, it's hard; but inch by inch, it's a cinch.

Moments ago, the U.S. Senate decided to do the unthinkable about gun violence - nothing at all. Over two years ago, when I was shot point-blank in the head, the U.S. Senate chose to do nothing. Four months ago, 20 first-graders lost their lives in a brutal attack on their school, and the U.S. Senate chose to do nothing. It's clear to me that if members of the U.S. Senate refuse to change the laws to reduce gun violence, then we need to change the members of the U.S. Senate.

Your future shines bright - find your purpose and go for it. Starting tomorrow, you can change the world.

I will get stronger. I will return.

Mile by mile, it's a trial; yard by yard, it's hard; but inch by inch, it's a cinch.

Our country must be strong enough to solve problems, and that means we must learn how to work together again.

My position is to listen to my constituents, learn from the best information available and ultimately make sound, rational decisions that are going to be beneficial to the people of the 8th Congressional District.
