I think people should be authentic and who they are. If that calls people to same-sex attraction and same-sex marriage, then they should be true to who they are, and I think that the world could benefit by more love.
Chris Gibson
Jesus’s first commandment was to love one another.
Chris Gibson
By training and keeping doctors in underserved areas, we’re working toward a goal of increasing access to quality health care for more of our communities.
Chris Gibson
I will always remember the fear in the faces of the executed. That’s the first day I felt the devil’s presence.
Chris Gibson
For too long, Gov. Cuomo has led with fear, intimidation, and bullying.
Chris Gibson
Churches, synagogues, and mosques should be treated the same.
Chris Gibson
My eyes are wide open… you serve in Iraq, your eyes are wide open.
Chris Gibson
Part of being conservative is judicious conservation of resources, both man-made and natural.
Chris Gibson
I had four combat tours, and I never saw death on a scale like I saw in Haiti. A quarter-million people lost their lives.
Chris Gibson
Legislation on Lyme disease, weather patterns, helping farmers, helping veterans – these are not partisan issues.
Chris Gibson
I’ve seen the human condition under the most trying of circumstances.
Chris Gibson
As I stated shortly after retiring from the U.S. Army and first pursuing a seat in Congress in 2010, I planned to self-impose term limits.
Chris Gibson
You can distill deterrence down to two factors: capability and will.
Chris Gibson
This is what my calling is now. I’m here to try to help our party.
Chris Gibson
It is in the best interests of my constituents and the country to repeal and replace the ACA, and defunding/delaying implementation is consistent with that approach.
Chris Gibson
If conservation isn’t conservative, then words have no meaning at all.
Chris Gibson
While I have strongly and consistently supported the Clean Power Plan, and continue to do so, I cannot and will not support a proposal for a cap-and-trade system.
Chris Gibson
Cap-and-trade is a dangerous policy fraught with the potential for significant corruption, and it would hurt my constituents and our economy by raising energy costs.
Chris Gibson
I hope the EPA will listen to the many votes over the years in Congress opposing cap-and-trade and rescind that proposed rule.
Chris Gibson
This deficit that we have threatens our very way of life, and everything needs to be on the table.
Chris Gibson
My travels have made clear that people across this state – from every political perspective – are looking for a new leader in Albany.
Chris Gibson
I will make the final decision on running for governor after my congressional term ends.
Chris Gibson
New York has been embarrassed by corruption and lags behind in too many important categories. We can do better.
Chris Gibson
We can bring people together in an era rife with partisanship and divide.
Chris Gibson
I came from a working-class family. My dad was in a union. I never forgot what it was like to be a private.
Chris Gibson
I’m against the president’s health care law because I don’t agree that it’s going to achieve its goals. I believe in the goals.
Chris Gibson
I’m against the president’s health care law because I don’t agree that it’s going to achieve its goals. I believe in the goals.
Chris Gibson
I want to drive down health care costs.
Chris Gibson
I don’t believe in amnesty… What I have proposed is that we would come forth with a program that allows individuals to come forward and to plead guilty… They would have to pay a fine; they would have to go through a background check – some say learn English – and they would get learned legal status.
Chris Gibson
What we need to do is have empathy and that ultimately, at the end of the day, it’s a woman’s private choice… I don’t support federal funding for abortions, nor do I support late-term abortions.
Chris Gibson
I believe in peace through strength.
Chris Gibson
What my voting record reflects is constantly looking to improve the amount of resources we having going into research, development, and prototypes we have going into renewable energy sources.
Chris Gibson
When the people’s representatives have to go on record and vote, it transforms our country. It is a full recognition that we are in a state of war.
Chris Gibson
We need legislation that encourages increased competition and tort reform and combats fraud, waste, and abuse. This would drive down health care costs, provide more ‘bottom line’ for our small businesses and lead to more private sector job growth.
Chris Gibson
The rural nature of our district relies heavily on the profitability of our family farms.
Chris Gibson
On the Agriculture Committee, I will be an ardent and strong champion for our farmers to ensure that they are treated fairly, particularly in regards to how their products are priced.
Chris Gibson
Moving forward, I will be committed to building a stronger team so that the GOP can compete and win statewide in 2018, including the possibility of being a candidate in that cycle.
Chris Gibson
Even with the approach that I take in Congress, which is to bring people together to get things done – many people describe that as ‘reasonable’ – I couldn’t vote for John Boehner’s re-elect.
Chris Gibson
Too many upstate New Yorkers have to drive 30 minutes or more to see a doctor.
Chris Gibson
When you talk about peace through strength, what you’re talking about is the concept of deterrence.
Chris Gibson
Our potential adversaries are watching us, and they have seen what has happened to us… This is why we’re dealing with a very problematical and troublesome Putin, and we’re dealing with Iran in a very terrible agreement we had.
Chris Gibson
All too often, the conversation about appropriate and balanced environmental stewardship gets caught up in partisan politics. Yet, this conversation is key to the preservation of our great country for generations to come, as important as ensuring we have fiscally responsible policies to secure our future.
Chris Gibson
People are starving for truth and leadership.
Chris Gibson
We have changing weather patterns, and we have climate change. This is the science. I hope that my party will come to be comfortable with this because we have to operate in the realm of knowledge and science.
Chris Gibson
When mainstream Muslims defeat the Islamic State, that lessens the ability of the Islamic State to recruit and fund-raise.
Chris Gibson
I look at the corruption in Albany and we cannot accept that.
Chris Gibson
We should roll back Common Core.
Chris Gibson
We have to reform the entire political process. It’s got to start with leadership by example.
Chris Gibson
I think abortion is a settled issue in New York.
Chris Gibson
When it comes to the SAFE Act, when it comes to rolling back Common Core, I recognize that I need Assembly Democrats to make that a reality.
Chris Gibson
There isn’t a day that goes by that I don’t think about the paratroopers I served with who made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedoms.
Chris Gibson
We know there isn’t anything we can say or do that will bring their loved one back. What we can do is support them and honor their sacrifice by doing everything we can, every day, to make our communities stronger and our nation better so that we may be a people worthy of their sacrifices.
