We believe that all men and women are created in the image of God. We believe that we are all equally created. So the fact of the matter is that we should assume by default that we reject the support of those who do not support the theory, the notion, the fact, that all men are created equally.

I think when you look to the future what you'll find is that the Republican Party is building a bigger party base on stronger values.

I see myself as a person who wants to serve the constituents within my district and find a way to move those who are not in our position philosophically to our position.

The future of the Republican Party and the future of America is based on a values system and the issues that drive those values are on our side.

Conservative principles place growth and opportunity at the forefront, and I look forward to the RNC continuing to promote those values in communities across the nation as we grow the party.

We are in a very critical and sensitive time in this nation. We need our president to sit down with folks who have a personal experience, a deep connection to the horror and the pain of this country`s provocative racial history. If the president wants to have a better understanding and appreciation for what he should do next, he needs to hear something from folks who have gone through this painful history. Without that personal connection to the painful past, it will be hard for him to regain that moral authority from my perspective.

I think about my grandfather who's 89 years old, and the last thing he needs is more money out of his pocket.
