Fostering Bipartisanship
Good ideas know no party, ideology, or viewpoint. Too many of our debates today are spent with Democratic and Republican officials bickering like children and fighting for political advantage as opposed to doing what they were elected to do – solve problems.
I came to Congress with an open mind and an open hand, willing to work with anyone, of any background, and from any part of the country. Our country works best when we work together, and I am committed to building bridges across the political aisle to help move America forward.
I'm working with Republicans on issues from genetic research to helping small businesses get started. In fact, 61 percent of the bills I co-sponsored in the 115th Congress were co-sponsored by both Democrats and Republicans.
