I trust Colorado families and teachers way more than I trust D.C. central planners who think they know better than parents do.

We can bring this country together. But we must realize that our heroes in blue are part of the solution and not the problem.

The threat from radical Islam is real.

I am not a Republican apologist.

The one thing I'm absolutely tired of hearing is 'Republicans reaching across the aisle.' We need to step up and lead, ladies and gentlemen. I'm tired of reaching across the aisle.

This era of political correctness out there needs to go.

If your neighbor is doing something wrong, let's call it. Let's say this person is doing wrong, and let's notify our law enforcement so we can actually vet that individual.

While I might not agree with everything Donald Trump says, I proudly stand with Donald Trump.

Where are Jesse Jackson and Rev. Al Sharpton? They don't speak for Black America, and they don't speak for me.

Nobody wants bad cops off the street more than good cops.

If you really want to heal our communities, more men to step it up to take care of their children. Safe neighbors happen when fathers and mothers are at home.

Racism in America is real.

If you are a black person growing up in America, chances are pretty good that you have experienced the police pulling you over in front of your mother's house because you 'had a headlight out.'

I say exactly what I am going to do and how I am going to vote, and I have a 13-year record to back it up.

We need to show the fact that when you start thinking about freedom and liberty, personal responsibility, and opportunity to achieve the American Dream, the Republican party is the best party to do that.

We need to start standing up for freedom and liberty.

Here's a fact: I absolutely understand the humiliation of being stopped for no reason other than driving while black.

I'm dedicated to healing the wounds between police and minority communities so both sides feel safe again.

Michael Bennet can't possibly understand the impact of flooding our job market with workers that aren't citizens of this country, and when we fight, they call us racist. When did wanting to feed your family become racist?

I'm willing to work with anybody that will put the country first.

I'm standing up for the American people.

When we put country first, it's amazing that we're going to be able to bring people together instead of dividing America.

I have been going into the underserved neighborhoods and talking to people and letting them know that the conservative message does work. Conservatives need to realize that you actually have to go in there and ask for the vote.

I believe Colorado needs representation from a conservative who has worked his way through the types of obstacles with which nearly all middle-class and lower-income people struggle.

I'm running against the Democrats. I'm running against evil.

I don't know any elected Democrats that I get along with.

I grew up in a military family. My father spent 26 years in the Air Force.

I went to, while I was in the military, Western New England College for my MBA and New England School of Law for my law degree.

I don't look at polls. It's about results. And every single time that people have had an opportunity to vote for me, we've been on top.

If you are going to stand for the rule of law, if you are going to raise your hand and support the constitution, then you need to follow the law.

My priority is to repeal the Iran Nuclear Deal and vote to do that. I think it's extremely dangerous... you don't negotiate with terrorists.

I love being the underdog.

I have a track record of going out and talking to my constituents and then standing up and representing them. That's what people want.

I'll absolutely be focusing in on the defense of this nation and making sure that our men and women have the proper tools, training, and equipment to do their jobs, that they have clear rules of engagement and, in the event that something happens to them, that we have a VA system that actually works.

We should all be proud of who and what we are.

Keep in mind, when two enemies are talking, they're not fighting, they're talking. They might be yelling and screaming, but at least they're talking. It's when the talking ceases that the ground becomes fertile for violence.

Antifa is now the one wearing the bandanas across their face or the masks. A lot of these groups - let's take Black Lives Matter, let's take Antifa, let's take the Ku Klux Klan - none of these groups today are centralized. They're all autonomous... It's the same thing with Antifa.

We spend too much time talking about each other, at each other, past each other, and not enough time talking with each other.

If you spend five minutes with your worst enemy - it doesn't have to be about race, it could be about anything... you will find that you both have something in common. As you build upon those commonalities, you're forming a relationship and as you build about that relationship, you're forming a friendship.

At the end, ignorance is the source of biases. If we cure that, there's nothing to fear and hate.

A stupid person is someone who has the facts, who has the proper information, and still makes the wrong decision.

I did not vote for Donald Trump and I do not support him but I believe that Trump is the best thing to happen to this country in a long time. He's bringing out the country's ugliness. There's no turning a blind eye anymore.

There's a difference between being ignorant and being stupid... For me, an ignorant person is someone who makes the wrong decision or a bad choice because he or she does not have the proper facts. If you give that person the facts and the proper information you have alleviated that ignorance, and they make the right decision.

I don't believe that Donald Trump is a racist, per se. But some of the things that he does, some of the rhetoric that he uses, attracts racists and that sets the tone. And of course, you are judged by the company you keep.

There are a lot of well meaning white liberals. And a lot of well meaning black liberals. But you know what? When all they do is sit around and preach to the choir it does absolutely no good. If you're not a racist it doesn't do any good for me to meet with you and sit around and talk about how bad racism is.

People learn racism through dialogue. Somebody tells them about it. So if you can learn it through dialogue, you can also unlearn it through dialogue.

I am not so naive as to think everyone will change. There are certainly those who will go to their graves as hateful, violent racists.

If you have an adversary, you don't have to respect what they're saying, but respect their right to say it.

The three Klan leaders here in Maryland, Roger Kelly, Robert White, and Chester Doles - I became friends with each one of them - when the three Klan leaders left the Klan and became friends of mine, that ended the Ku Klux Klan in the state of Maryland.

Music teaches us how to work together, how to harmonize.
