Communications Commentary

“To my Democratic colleagues: if there is an issue that interests you or a problem you want to address - let’s talk. I can’t promise agreement or a successful outcome. But I can promise that my door will always be open and where we can find common ground – I am committed to finding a solution. Divided government can yield bipartisan, legislative outcomes and that’s what I’ll seek whenever we can.”

Commitments Commentary
