"What I will do is change their minds…. If I can’t change them, then I will have to work with them."

"Being without a home should not mean being without an education. Yet that is what homelessness has meant for far too many of our children and youth today; red tape, lack of information, and bureaucratic delays that result in their missing school and missing the chance at a better life."

"Whether they are in a motel or jumping from couch to couch, these kids need help."

"Representing the people of this area has been the great honor of my lifetime. I can never thank them enough for their kindnesses towards me, their generosity with their ideas, their patience when we don’t see eye-to-eye, and their deep love of community and country."
