“Nearly one-fifth of our fellow citizens are Latino. They are families who are impacted by our education system, by our economy, by our healthcare delivery, and by every policy we make here in Washington.”

“When you see the horrible conditions that these animals live in, you wonder why operators of puppy mills have gone undetected for so long.”

“Sometimes I try to improve the language, the lines, or the delivery, but I don't ad-lib because I think that makes it really hard for everybody else involved.”
