I strongly believe that crossing the aisle for the good of the American people is more important than party politics.

Some might consider me an unlikely advocate for gun rights because I sustained terrible injuries in a violent shooting. But I'm a patriot, and I believe the right to bear arms is a definitive part of our American heritage.

Dangerous people with guns are a threat to women.

People have told me that I'm courageous, but I have seen greater courage.

I don't think there is anything more bitter in American politics than a close election.

I do not believe the American people are going to confuse hatred for passion.
