As a kid, there was not much I could do to stop the violence in our home. When I got older, as a father, I did everything I could to raise my children with a father that loved them, protected them, and made them feel safe.

I told the truth when I said I have never been arrested. I have never been handcuffed or fingerprinted. I have never appeared in court as a defendant.

When you grow up in a violent home, the fights, the screaming, the pain all blur together. To survive, you block as much of it out of your head as you can in the moment. You try to forget it going forward.

We have to stop the cycle of violence affecting so many of our communities. We have to love each other.

Ladies and gentlemen, there is evil in this world.

Donald Trump went through the process, he earned the vote, and I am not in support of overturning the will of the voters.

America needs to step up and lead for once.

All of my life, I've been told no. That I was too poor, too short, too black. I enjoy it when people underestimate me.

Islam and the Constitution are in clear conflict.

My election results speak to my level of service.

I tell people all the time: All I need is gas money.

I am the Democratic Party's absolutely worst nightmare. Why is that? Well, you see, I am a black conservative Republican running against one of the most vulnerable Democrats in America in 2016.

I'm sick of hearing white liberals claim that if you call them out for their failed liberal programs, you're a racist. It makes my blood boil - which is part of why I am running.

Someone with a nice tan needs to say this: All lives matter.

My experience as a county commissioner has taught me that the best ideas often come from our neighbors, church groups, and community.

I support the elimination and defunding of all agencies like the Education and Energy Departments because they fall outside of the framework of the Constitution.

There is no constitutional basis for the federal government to be mandated to assist with student debt.

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.
