If There Was One Word On A

I Thought If Anyone Need A Leg Up, It Was Our Foster Children. So, I Started Getting Involved In Education Reform, And That Was Back In 1998. And As A Result Of All The Reform Work That I Had Done, People Urged Me To Run For The Minnesota State Senate. I Did, I Was There For Six Years.

Certainly People Make Mistakes In Their Life. I'm No Different, I've Made Mistakes. When People Mess Up, We Forgive Them. When I Mess Up, I Ask For Forgiveness.

Though I'm A Congresswoman By Title, A Politician I've Never Been.

Looking Backwards, I Look At My Resume And I Look At The Things I've Accomplished, But Quite Honestly There's Just That Word, 'mother', I Just Saw It On The Paper, And I That's The One That Means The Most To Me.

I'm Not Motivated By Vanity, Glory Or The Quest For Power.
