I love the opportunity to help my patients, to work with them to find the best course of action to get them healthy and to give them the information they need to stay healthy. ”

As a physician, I would never encroach upon the religious freedoms of my patients. ”

I hope I'll have the opportunity to debate how we reform and update our immigration system. I will relate my own story and that of the countless immigrants whose American Dream stories have helped build our country into the greatest nation in the world. ”

For the vast majority of Americans who work hard and play by the rules, paying the bills may be hard some months, but it's something we always do. ”

When I took the Hippocratic oath and was effectively 'sworn in' as a doctor, I took the same vow that doctors have taken for generations. Patient autonomy is core to this oath. ”

If our nation is to rebuild opportunity for future generations, it will require our elected leaders to realize that their responsibility lies not with their political party, but rather with the American people that they have been chosen to represent. ”

I ran for Congress because I want to make sure others have the same chance at the dream that I had for generations to come. ”
