I'm proud of my dad's name. But I'm not running on my dad's name. I'm running on my dad's values.

Indiana's ninth congressional district isn't historically known as a fount of congressional contributions. That said, if you look at my fundraising history, we've succeeded.

I think I've demonstrated... that I'm a good fundraiser.

It's not often that a United States Senate seat comes open.

Not everything can be solved by government.

Most Hoosiers underestimate their ability to effect change.

Modern media has a real tendency to focus on the divisions rather than the commonalities.

Clearly, there are persistent differences in our country.

A rising tide lifts most boats. But some boats require patching.

Getting the budget balanced, regulatory reform, tax reform - I think these lead to economic growth.

We live in a representative democracy, characterized by free and fair elections and peaceful transfers of power. After most elections, roughly half of Americans are thrilled with the results; the other half are profoundly disappointed.

I'd like to solve more problems and help Hoosiers with more opportunities by serving on more committees.

Most Hoosiers aren't really political people.

There is a responsibility as president to choose your words carefully, especially on foreign policy, and to speak as clearly as possible.

Our message of ensuring every Hoosier has access to a quality education that turns into a good paying job, that ultimately leads to a meaningful career with access to affordable health care, is resonating.

I think Evan Bayh directly should answer to the many Hoosiers I've spoken with who have questions about his ethical practices, or lack thereof, when he served in the United States Senate.

This is an appropriate role for the federal government - to invest in basic research.

The Humvee is an American military icon and will continue to be for decades. It is an essential part of U.S. military operations.

The skilled workers at AM General help ensure that our troops and our allies have the best and most modernized vehicles, and AM General serves as a major economic engine for our state.

Through a respectful exchange of ideas and emphasis on shared goals, I am confident we can put many of our disagreements behind us to ensure a better future for all Americans.

One of the things I learned at the Naval Academy and the Marine Corps is we have to make tough decisions.

There's an appetite for advancing conservative solutions and not just talking about them.

Hoosiers are practical people, and Hoosier Republicans in particular have a history of unifying.

Everything in my life I owe to God, my family, the Naval Academy, and the Marine Corps.

It sounds outright bland, but people here in Indiana want conscientious public servants who have deep convictions but are prepared to work across the aisle when possible.

It typically takes bipartisan work to build enough consensus to get things through our legislative process.

I like to overcome great challenges.

In the absence of specific solutions or evidence that we have people in Washington, D.C., who can make a significant difference... people will cling to those who at least speak to their frustrations.

Most Hoosiers intend to support the Republican nominees. Most Hoosiers believe leaders like myself should speak out when we disagree.

We can score political points. We can try to advance some important initiatives. But at some point, it takes sober-minded, responsible conservative leaders to identify when you've pushed as far as you can and to have the courage to go back and face the electorate and explain to them why you voted the way you did.

Elections should highlight principled disagreements, but they must not obscure our capacity to cooperate for the common good.

The Senate, as opposed to the House, has been less successful in advancing some of the legislation that I think are important to Hoosiers.

I'm a pro-life, pro-gun Marine that wants to repeal and replace Obamacare.

The best way I can think of to give back is to ensure that every Hoosier family enjoys a better future.

In the Marine Corps, we're taught to put America above ourselves.

Does it seem like Washington's rigged for the well connected? That's because it is.

Under Obamacare, rates are skyrocketing, and insurers are leaving the marketplace.

Washington's foot-dragging, obstructionism, and overreach must end.

In my experience, all Americans - Republicans, Democrats, and everyone in between - want roughly the same thing: an assurance that if they work hard, they can create a better life for themselves and their families. They want to feel safe in their communities and secure in their future.

It's extremely hard for the economy to grow when the workforce is shrinking.

We need a conservative welfare reform initiative that is focused on putting people back to work and ensures taxpayer money is only spent on programs that have been proven to work.

We need to simplify the tax code to reward Americans for working hard, investing, saving - and allow families to keep more of their own money.

As bad as the Obama administration is at trying to legislate without legislators, all too often, Congress is responsible for handing them the 'pen and phone.'

As the son of a small business owner, I know how regulatory overreach can stifle our economy and cost Americans jobs.

The American people deserve an honest assessment of the state of our foreign affairs.

Part of my responsibility as an officer was to oversee a team of analysts charged with synthesizing all of the data points on the map to see how one related to another. By bringing those data points together, a broader picture could be drawn and a strategy developed to counter the existing threat.

Intelligence work in the Marine Corps proved to me the strategic value in establishing a Central Command to act as a clearinghouse for disparate bits and floating bytes of information.

As someone who took an oath to defend this country, I refuse to sit idle until the unimaginable occurs: Iran cheats or simply runs out the clock, and the largest state sponsor of terrorism threatens the United States and its allies with a nuclear weapon.

Our safety net must reflect our country's belief that - without exception - Americans are not liabilities to be written off but assets to be realized.

As a parent, I know I speak for millions when I say that every child deserves to grow up in a stable, loving home.
