Make no mistake: I will work with both Democrats and Republicans to cut wasteful spending and reduce our debt in a balanced, responsible way.

I've also been mayor in a city that's five to one Democrats over Republicans. And I think I've been able to accomplish as much as any other mayor in the city, some people believe a lot more,

Democrats have become more disciplined in making the case against Republicans.

I don't look for much to come out of government ownership as long as we have Democrats and Republicans

Look, there are Democrats who give to Democrats, and Republicans who give to Republicans.

Curry County has always, since I've been here anyway, had more Republicans than Democrats.
