	What I see in Washington reminds me of what I saw in Montgomery when I was first elected Alabama's Attorney General. In Montgomery, corruption was the problem, so I assembled the finest public corruption prosecution team in the country. Their work wasn't always popular with the mainstream media or the local politicians. We didn't let that stop us.

	I promised to carry on Jeff Session's legacy of fighting for the conservative values we believe in. I promised to help pass the Trump agenda and serve the people's interest, not the special interests. And I promised to help Donald Trump drain the swamp in Washington.

	Science has advanced a long way in the 44 years since Roe v. Wade, and it is time that our laws reflect the undeniable truth that life begins at fertilization and that unborn citizens are entitled to the same protections as every American.

	I'm not backing down on immigration. I'm not backing down on the wall.

	I think the thing that's impressed me the most has been the fantastic professionalism of the officials in the Senate.

	Under President Obama, we saw an unwarranted extension of amnesty programs which neglected the root of the illegal immigration crisis. We saw a troubling lack of urgency in addressing the sanctuary cities which subvert the rule of law.

	The federal, state, and local governments are involved in virtually every aspect of business.

	A job is the best cure for poverty, and that's why economic development and job creation has been my principle focus.

	It's frustrating when people question your integrity.

	When President Trump and I arrived in Washington, there was a new sense that the crisis of illegal immigration would now be taken seriously.

	The Obama administration's EPA ruling to cut carbon emissions at power plants is a direct affront to workers in states like Alabama, which not only rely upon coal-fired plants to generate most of their electricity but are also home to thousands of coal industry jobs.

	Stewardship of our air and water is a responsibility that should be free of the bias of politics. What's more, environmental regulators should abide by the law.

	The Second Amendment reflects the brilliance of our founders, who knew that no right is guaranteed unless we are willing to fight for it, and I remain committed to fighting for the rights of lawful gun owners as the senator for Alabama.

	I have been fighting - and winning - against Obama-era experiments with illegal amnesty.

	Governing through federal ultimatum grates against our history, traditions, and, most importantly, our Constitution.

	I have no doubt that Russia tried to meddle in our election. They're going to continue trying to - just like they have my entire lifetime.
