In Their Words
What they have said, on the record
“I've had telephone town halls with as many as 21,000 (people) on them last week. It works for the people I represent. I'm going to continue to do what I do and let the other people do what they do. I'm about as successful as any United States congressman has ever been with a three-vote majority.”
“We are pro-business and look at what that has led to in north Alabama. Our economy continues to thrive, our communities continue to thrive, and capitalism is alive and well here in north Alabama. We still have work to do and that's exactly what I hope to do in another term in Washington.”
“We've made a difference for everyone in North Alabama, whether it's roads, whether it's jobs, whether it's safe drinking water, whether it's public safety for our law enforcement.”
“I've given a lifetime of service to this community as an EMT, volunteer firefighter. I think my record speaks for itself. I've made everything better, no matter whether it's been at the local level or in Congress. You look at it, serving on the Appropriations Committee and vice chair of Commerce, Justice and Science, I think the people of the 5th District appreciate what I've done, and I think I've got a proven record.”
