Quotes

 * We’ve never had more energy, more creativity or more talent in our caucus, do expectations sometimes get raised to a level that we maybe can’t meet? Sure. But we will always be willing to take on that challenge to do things like we did today in overriding the Governor. I think we need some of these ad hoc committees to create public policy that is driven by our caucus, our caucus needs to be crafting and riving policy, not the people paid to hang around in these hallways.

 * This is the largest Republican majority in the history of the State and I am humbled by the outpouring of support I have received.

I believe Missourians are tired of failed policies out of Washington DC and are looking for more common sense solutions here in Missouri, I believe this majority can deliver them.
