Favorite Quote:
"If there's just one piece of advice I can give you, it's this - when there's something you really want, fight for it, don't give up no matter how hopeless it seems and when you've lost hope, ask yourself if ten years from now, you're gonna wish you gave it just one more shot. Because the best things in life, they don't come free."
"If you do what is best for the people you represent, then you don't have to worry about elections - your people will return you. If you don't, they won't...and they shouldn't." - John D. Dingell
