But overall he's been courageous and innovative and (so far) successful. And while he's fairly new to Washington...

...ideas. But we agreed on a 15% across-the-board tax cut and reduced federal spending as key components of our campaign. In the end, the power of ideas, enthusiasm about the future, passion for racial equality, positivity and inclusion brought us together. Jack never claimed his ideas were flawless, but he knew that our party, to become a majority, needed new ideas and a form of conservatism that protected the vulnerable.
