A lot of people are in politics to make friends, too, instead of making positive change. Theyre worried about getting re-elected.

The biggest change we have to tackle that's out there is that we're digging the hole deeper and deeper and spending is totally out of control. And that's something that, quite frankly, is affecting future generations. You're giving a lot of debt to them and you can't keep doing it. It's not helping anybody.

It's been in the back of my head for five or six years, but more on the local level to get involved and try to create a better environment for my children and grandchildren.

I take ownership of every mistake I've ever made.
