"When I took on this position a few years back, what I felt was the most important statement and most the important guidance I could give my members is that I have to and I will respect the regional differences that we have within the state. Having run for a state-wide office many years ago it gave me a greater appreciation of the regional differences, not only is it just regional, but it is also philosophical. I have members that are very conservative but that reflects their district."
