Quotes

"I want to be clear: I am in favor of member projects, and I believe in the right of the Congress to dictate where federal dollars go. But the path we are headed down in Washington is not a good one. I am going to work to change our direction and create a federal spending process that is fair and open and that the public can trust. When it is, I will resume my strong advocacy for federal assistance for my District’s innovative and needed projects."
