“Getting the budget balanced, regulatory reform, tax reform - I think these lead to economic growth.”

“My wife Jenny and I have four young children of our own.”

“We can score political points. We can try to advance some important initiatives. But at some point, it takes sober-minded, responsible conservative leaders to identify when you've pushed as far as you can and to have the courage to go back and face the electorate and explain to them why you voted the way you did.”

“If you look in a dictionary, the word 'Indianan' may appear. But the first task, the litmus test as to whether or not someone really is from Indiana or has spent any kind of considerable time in Indiana, is whether or not they use the word 'Indianan,' because no one in Indiana ever uses that term. We refer to ourselves as Hoosiers.”

“As bad as the Obama administration is at trying to legislate without legislators, all too often, Congress is responsible for handing them the 'pen and phone.'”

“Most Hoosiers aren't really political people.”

“We need a conservative welfare reform initiative that is focused on putting people back to work and ensures taxpayer money is only spent on programs that have been proven to work.”

“I actually understand what a Marine on the ground goes through. I've seen generals and admirals struggle with different situations.”

“As a parent, I know I speak for millions when I say that every child deserves to grow up in a stable, loving home.”

“Clearly, there are persistent differences in our country.”

“Our message of ensuring every Hoosier has access to a quality education that turns into a good paying job, that ultimately leads to a meaningful career with access to affordable health care, is resonating.”

“Intelligence work in the Marine Corps proved to me the strategic value in establishing a Central Command to act as a clearinghouse for disparate bits and floating bytes of information.”

“Our nation must come together as only Americans can.”

“The vast majority of my job is, and should be done, in the state of Indiana.”

“I spend roughly two out of every three nights at my house in Indiana.”

“Our safety net must reflect our country's belief that - without exception - Americans are not liabilities to be written off but assets to be realized.”

“If we're going to make sure that we get our legislation right... we need to actually be spending time with Hoosiers.”

“Indiana's ninth congressional district isn't historically known as a fount of congressional contributions. That said, if you look at my fundraising history, we've succeeded.”
