People have told me how divided we are, tired of the chaos, tired of the shutdowns, tired of feeling like nothing gets done. People want members of congress to stop attacking each other, and start dealing with the real problems we face and thats exactly how ive done this job. 80 of the votes ive cost have been bipartisan, and wrote and cowrote three bipartisan bills signed into law.
