I'd like to see a comprehensive gun control bill brought to the floor, but if we have to do it in several votes, that's fine, too. But give us the vote. Let us make our case to our colleagues on the floor and have a vote.
Growing up in Rhode Island, I dreamed of a career in law enforcement. That hasn't worked out exactly as I had planned, but life seldom does.
I was so affected by the tragic shootings that took place in Newtown, Connecticut, as we all were.
To me, that's the role of government: not to give people a hand out, but a hand up... giving people the tools to pave their own way to success.
My work in government has flowed from the fundamental idea of personal empowerment. It's about giving people the tools they need to pave their own way.
