It wasn't until we went on to Boston
and Virginia that we actually took time to get to know each other,
where they are from, and what they were about. What I can tell you--the thing that I say that gives hope to so many
people--is that my freshman class heard the exact same things during
this past election: That it is time that we get things done and that we
do it together. Now, I believe that once we get past these turbulent times at this
point, I do hope we can work together on issues that affect our
country, be it immigration reform, investment in our infrastructure,
and ensuring that our health care is not just accessible but
affordable. But I also realize, as many of you, that that is easier said than
done. Yet I believe that to get things done in Congress, you have to
treat it like a marathon and not a sprint, and I believe that we begin
this race by building relationships.
