Now that elections are over, our real job begins. Before the elections, I think all or most of the politicians said they could work in a bipartisan way.

We have to keep tabs on Washington, D.C., and Des Moines, and make sure they stick to their promises. When they do nothing, they need to hear from us. We hear about Congress being gridlocked. We want more action.

Cross the aisle, ladies and gentlemen. You can get along if you want to. We expect more in the future.
