Angus King

If it's necessary to join a caucus and get a committee assignment, I'll do it.

One of my life principles is that if something isn't working, doing something harder isn't necessarily going to produce the same result.

I worked in the Senate in the 1970s. I worked for the Labor, Public Welfare Committee, and we had Ted Kennedy and my old boss, Bill Hathaway, and Walter Mondale.

In the Armed Services Committee, we endeavored to put forth proposals that would help alleviate some of that stress, both for the troops and for their families.

I have thrown chairs, but only during football matches. Generally, I am well-behaved. I do not like to make people angry.
