“We have to remember there is not a big printing press in Washington that continually prints money over and over.”

“While other countries have been securing large export deals, American companies have been placed at a competitive disadvantage - forced to compete globally with one hand tied behind their back.”

“When Ex-Im gives companies the resources they need to sell their products abroad, their employees, suppliers and communities succeed at home.”

“It's time for Washington to get out of the way and quit killing American jobs.”

“I really feel like we have drifted too far away from real America.”

“Chairman Hensarling is a good man who cares about America, and I respect him to the highest degree.”

“As I've long said, the farm bill is in need of major reform. At first chance, I voted to remove direct payments. Both the House and the Senate passed bills that end direct payments, and as we move forward, I hope we can work out the rest of the issues to implement the necessary reforms.”

“It's our government; just leave us alone and... let the free market create the jobs.”

“Trillion-dollar bailouts, bloated budgets, and boondoggle spending packages aren't working, at least for my friends and neighbors.”

“We must, we must cut the EPA's legs off. I hate to say that, because it sounds rotten, but they are choking this country to death with legislating through the bureaucracy in Washington.”

“In Arizona, where farm dust is currently regulated, farmers are forced to park tractors on windy days to prevent getting strapped with outrageous fines.”

“Folks, I mean to keep my word. And if I don't, I'll give you my address and some rope. That's real accountability.”

“Over the years, our federal prisons have become a breeding ground for radicalization. By allowing volunteers to enter the system without first having to undergo a comprehensive background check, some of the most vulnerable members of society have become susceptible to radicalization.”

“I am humbled by the opportunity to serve the people of West Tennessee, but I never intended to become a career politician.”

“Transparency at the Export Import Bank has long been a concern and must be addressed.”

“I'm putting jobs over ideology.”

“I strongly believe we must move forward with these much-needed reforms to the Ex-Im Bank by acting on a five-year reauthorization bill.”
