The rural nature of our district relies heavily on the profitability of our family farms.
— Chris Gibson
What my voting record reflects is constantly looking to improve the amount of resources we having going into research, development, and prototypes we have going into renewable energy sources.
I don't believe in amnesty... What I have proposed is that we would come forth with a program that allows individuals to come forward and to plead guilty... They would have to pay a fine; they would have to go through a background check - some say learn English - and they would get learned legal status.
I came from a working-class family. My dad was in a union. I never forgot what it was like to be a private.
For too long, Gov. Cuomo has led with fear, intimidation, and bullying.
This deficit that we have threatens our very way of life, and everything needs to be on the table.
While I have strongly and consistently supported the Clean Power Plan, and continue to do so, I cannot and will not support a proposal for a cap-and-trade system.
It is in the best interests of my constituents and the country to repeal and replace the ACA, and defunding/delaying implementation is consistent with that approach.
This is what my calling is now. I'm here to try to help our party.
We need legislation that encourages increased competition and tort reform and combats fraud, waste, and abuse. This would drive down health care costs, provide more 'bottom line' for our small businesses and lead to more private sector job growth.
I believe in peace through strength.
I want to drive down health care costs.
We can bring people together in an era rife with partisanship and divide.
I will make the final decision on running for governor after my congressional term ends.
I hope the EPA will listen to the many votes over the years in Congress opposing cap-and-trade and rescind that proposed rule.
Part of being conservative is judicious conservation of resources, both man-made and natural.
I think people should be authentic and who they are. If that calls people to same-sex attraction and same-sex marriage, then they should be true to who they are, and I think that the world could benefit by more love.
When the people's representatives have to go on record and vote, it transforms our country. It is a full recognition that we are in a state of war.
What we need to do is have empathy and that ultimately, at the end of the day, it's a woman's private choice... I don't support federal funding for abortions, nor do I support late-term abortions.
I'm against the president's health care law because I don't agree that it's going to achieve its goals. I believe in the goals.
New York has been embarrassed by corruption and lags behind in too many important categories. We can do better.
My travels have made clear that people across this state - from every political perspective - are looking for a new leader in Albany.
Cap-and-trade is a dangerous policy fraught with the potential for significant corruption, and it would hurt my constituents and our economy by raising energy costs.
If conservation isn't conservative, then words have no meaning at all.
Jesus's first commandment was to love one another.
