It's tremendously undemocratic in a democratic society when you deliberately disenfranchise thousands of people.

A lawmaker cannot be pro-sequester while also purporting to be pro-national security or supportive of a strong economy.

I don't have the luxury of just hanging out in my primary and, once I win the primary, I'm fine. I have to talk to Democrats and Republicans.

In addition, there is one title I cherish a great deal more than Congressman and that is the title of... Dad.

It took me realizing that a broken heart has never actually killed anyone to find the courage to ask for what I want, in just about every situation. That was part of my own growing up.

What I find is most people have a civics book understanding for how Congress works and how a bill moves.
