Abortion harms women…. Abortion is not health care.

Government has a rightful role, but not an excessive role, to play.

From all indications, the Offutt runway replacement is not a matter of 'if.' It is a matter of 'when.'

If it comes out of Congress, I think it has traction in America.

There's nothing wrong in America that can't be fixed by what's right in America.

We need to stop this overspending. We need to start turning this battleship in the right direction. And we all have to share in the sacrifice.

We need a new health care architecture that will reduce costs, improve outcomes, and protect vulnerable persons.

It is my belief there is too much concentration of power and spending in Washington.

With the consent of the people, I will seek to continue service in Congress for the well-being of our state and our nation.

We must continue to foster relevant and constructive dialogue among Israeli and Palestinian communities.

Donald Trump has not yet earned my vote. And I'm not simply going to say 'never,' because I do not want to empower Hillary Clinton.

The strong arm of government should not force Americans to buy health-care products that they have reasoned objections to.

We're living in a time where I think most people are wanting someone to invite them respectfully to a policy position, not try to just slash and burn the other person.

I used to be on the Lincoln City Council. You learn that there's never enough money for all of the police officers and fire-fighting apparatus you'd like to have.

I would like to see Donald Trump lay out specifics on an economic agenda that are realistic, that are small-business focused.

The responsible use of earmarks can have public benefits.

Christianity in the Middle East is shattered. The ancient faith tradition lies beaten, broken, and dying.

The tax code is weighted toward the ultra-wealthy and ultra-wealthy corporations and has created an offshore aristocracy of people who can afford to hire an army of accountants and lawyers. This shifts the tax burden to small businesses, entrepreneurs, and others.

I don't fund county roads.

I thought incorporating Columbus and Platte County into the 1st District was a good idea.

People need to make their voices heard in an orderly fashion.

Fiscal discipline can turn the economy around.

A rapidly expanding Syrian refugee policy could create conditions for domestic tragedy.

You cannot deny reality: that ISIS is systematically attempting to exterminate Christianity, to exterminate the Yazidi community, to exterminate other religious minorities in vast areas in Iraq and Syria.

Congress must demonstrate fiscal responsibility.
