I decided to run for Congress because when I was approached as a community leader, I felt that one of the things that spoke to me most was the constituent services.

I believe that in both parties, Democrat and Republican, support for Israel is bipartisan, it is strong and it is unwavering, and I don't see that changing.

What happens in Israel should be decided between Israel and the Palestinians.

Thinking I'd be in politics just wasn't something I'd thought of as a younger woman. There just weren't a lot of role models there.

I am a granddaughter of immigrants, put myself through college as a waitress, and I started my career as a computer programmer.

I think, deep down, women know that we are the saviors of our families, right?

It's always better to be for something than it is against something.

Every day I get up and I try to do the very best I can.

When you start a new job, a lot of times everybody's been there a long time and so you think, 'Oh, it's going to take me a while to make friends and do all that.'

The first thing I tell women is this: They think that coding or being in any computer field is very solitary, very solemn, that you're just set off in a cubicle somewhere and it's not social and it's not creative. I would tell them that it's the furthest from the truth.

ICE does a lot of other things that people don't realize. They work on counterterrorism, cyber security.

Counterterrorism, cyberterrorism, it's real.

I think the Fight for 15 is a great fight. I think, unfortunately, depending how the Congress works out, we may have to get there in increments.

It's really great to have Harry Reid or whomever come say, 'Oh you're terrific.'

One thing you have to be very careful on when you work in health care is this: when you make a sweeping change, you can't wait to see what falls through the cracks. What could fall through the cracks is somebody's life. You need to move thoughtfully and carefully with a plan incrementally.

No one should have to go to school with a bulletproof backpack or be afraid to go to synagogue or church or a restaurant.

I feel the American people are resilient.

I was ranked the fifth most bipartisan freshman when I went to Congress, and I think that my motto really is, 'Agree where you can and fight where you must.'

Anybody who has been in a relationship, raised a family, worked in business or been a systems analyst, you have to look at how the whole system works together. You have to find those opportunities to collaborate.

Palliative care is something that you don't know you need until you're in the space where you need it, either from someone who has a terminal disease, like my mother, or for people who live with chronic disease and have particular issues that need care.

What we have to quit talking about is border wall. We need border security.

Congress needs to work in a bipartisan way to fix the Affordable Care Act, not repeal it.

I've been working tirelessly in the House to help ensure Nevada does not become a dumping ground for the rest of the nation's nuclear waste, and I will continue that fight in the Senate.

I support comprehensive immigration reform that includes a path to full and equal citizenship for undocumented immigrants who are playing by the rules, staying out of trouble and contributing to our economy.

I'm supporting plans in Congress to fully ban bump stock devices and prohibit the sale of high-capacity magazines.

I've been proud to call Southern Nevada home for more than 35 years and it's been an incredible place to work, raise a family, care for my parents and volunteer in the community.

I want kids, young women, young girls especially, who oftentimes by junior high they think they can't do math or science... I want them to know that it's creative, it's problem solving, and it's for everyone.

When you empower and teach a teacher how to break down barriers, bring innovation and excitement to the classroom, every student in that classroom learns.

Patience is a virtue; virtue is a grace.

In the U.S., free speech and the press are protected by the First Amendment. It has a clarity unmatched by modern legislators and declares that 'Congress shall make no law... abridging the freedom of speech, or the press.'

A constitutional monarchy requires the monarch to be above politics but to be fully informed about politics.

When Margaret Thatcher was leader, she and Michael Heseltine were hardly soulmates, but she would not have allowed personal rivalry to take the heat off the Labour Party, whose own deep internal divisions are buried in other news now, nor would she have countenanced any attempt to have a show trial.

You've got to judge people, ultimately, by their actions rather than their words.

I would almost certainly vote for Trump if I was American.

Lobbying has become a term of reproach, as if it were improper to push for a particular belief. This has happened because of paid lobbyists whose opinions are for hire and the fear that decision-makers, whether politicians or officials, are susceptible to their charms and wiles. This has tarred entirely proper lobbying with the same brush.

Free Trade puts consumers at the centre of economic activity. It lowers the cost of imports, which gives people the opportunity to buy more with the same amount of money: domestic producers have to compete with the lowest global costs or invest in new business.

I've made no pretence to be a modern man at all, ever.

If people ignore the rules already, new regulations are not likely to deter them.

I very much like potatoes.

Sometimes 'sin' taxes are useful not because of their perceived health benefits but because they are effectively a form of voluntary taxation which tends to arouse less irritation than other taxes.

Zero-hours contracts are a low proportion of the workforce; they provide a route into employment and flexibility for staff. They benefit business, consumers, and taxpayers by keeping costs down, and they boost productivity, allowing the efficient use of labour.

The BBC always wants to blame things on Brexit. I'm not saying this is a conspiracy: I'm saying it is a fact of life.

Eschatological fears are an ancient human concern. The Romans expected the world to end in 634 B.C. owing to a prophecy involving twelve eagles, while the early Christians anticipated the Final Judgment in their own lifetimes. Pope Sylvester II thought A.D. 1000 would be the last year, a view updated for the modern age by the Millennium bug.

Mark Carney is one of the enemies of Brexit. He has opposed it consistently.

Subsidising inefficient businesses does not encourage them to become more competitive and means that extra money has to be taken from tax payers for the same result. Inevitably, this reduces the total size of the economy and lowers living standards.

No one questions the right of individuals to go to the Central Lobby to explain their views to their own Member of Parliament. It is important for those in power to hear arguments in favour of policies from all sides and ought to lead to better decision-making.

Perhaps one day the world will end, giving the last group to predict it the satisfaction of being right - but as many have been wrong so far, it does not seem wise to make public policy on the back of these fears.

I'm of the opinion that one of the perks of being in Parliament is not having to do the school run.

In England and, later, the United Kingdom, Habeas Corpus is a right of great antiquity: Anyone who is arrested must be brought before a court, but this does not apply in continental countries.

Tony Blair adopted the accent of the audience he was speaking to, which worked very well initially, but then voters began to perceive him as phoney. The 'man of the people' act is the height of condescension.
