"I thank my colleagues for once again placing their trust and confidence in me to continue to lead the bipartisan Problem Solvers Caucus. As we move forward, we will ensure that two-party solutions are advanced, that the bipartisan relationship is recalibrated to be an all-in, 50-50 two-way proposition, and that pragmatism and balance prevail over extremism and ideological purity. There is nothing more important to the preservation of democracy, and to the success of our nation, than genuine bipartisan leadership. We will embrace this challenge once again, and we will succeed, because I love the United States of America, the greatest country on earth."

“I am honored that my colleagues have elected me to now serve as the Co-Chair of the bipartisan Problem Solvers Caucus. My philosophy is simple: I’ll work with anyone who wants to genuinely solve problems and make life better for the American people, but I’ll never abandon my values. You can only solve complicated problems when you have people of goodwill who are willing to sit down with one another and work together to try and find common ground. We have that in this Caucus, and I look forward to getting to work to solve problems for the American people.”

And in a closely divided Congress, where the reality is that real problem solving must be bipartisan, that takes focused commitment. The Problem Solvers Caucus has a proven record of forging solutions to tough challenges and offers a path to real achievement in the 119th Congress.”

“The American people are tired of the partisan bickering and gridlock that’s prevented Congress from addressing issues impacting hardworking men and women. Too often we retreat to our familiar corners to talk with people who think like us, unwilling to engage with those with different views. Our responsibility in Congress is larger than that. We made an obligation to deliver for those who sent us to Washington – that means working in a bipartisan manner. Unity – not division –makes our country strong. As a member of the Problem Solvers Caucus, we work every day to bring members together and bridge the partisan divide.”

“Americans deserve a good-faith effort from their elected officials to drop the partisan bickering and work together to solve the challenges facing our nation. My colleagues and I on the Problem Solvers Caucus pride ourselves on leaving politics at the door and listening to our constituents. When we fairly evaluate ideas outside of our own ideology, we not only encourage effective lawmaking, we also ensure that when we do disagree, we can do so respectfully. Regardless of where you land on the political spectrum, I think we can all agree that the current blue team versus red team mentality is preventing us from addressing our nation’s problems and the American people are paying the price. I am proud to be a part of this group of lawmakers who work across the aisle to prioritize the needs of their constituents.”
