I am not going to stop speaking out on behalf of policies that I think are right - regardless of ideology, party or political expediency.

I am for gay marriage. Or same-sex marriage. I don't want to say it the wrong way. I think people are sensitive to it. I have been painted as being this right-wing zealot on choice. Nothing could be further from the truth.

To say that I am pro life is just wrong. I am personally pro-choice and legislatively pro-choice.

I think of feminism as more of a political ideology.

Public service is a part of who I am, having grown up in a family of politicians.

At times I think and at times I am.
