I find it very difficult to see a scenario where financial regulation doesn't pass the Senate.

There are times where the dysfunction in the Senate just goes too far.

I want to see the economy rebound.

I have gone to great lengths, and in some cases beyond what is required by the reporting guidelines to ensure all of my filings are beyond reproach, by hiring an independent third-party accounting firm to review and audit all of my previous annual financial disclosures.

If the Senate can't perform its most basic responsibilities, I worry about how we're going to make the tough decisions and do the hard work that will be necessary to get our country on a path to fiscal solvency.

My dad just imprinted in my mind from a very young age that you always do what you say you're gonna do when you say you're gonna do it.
