TED LIEU

When I served on active duty in the United States Air Force, one of my duties was to teach the Law of War.

Having immigrated here when I was 3, I was grateful for the opportunities America provided and felt a duty to defend the ideals that make us the strongest nation in the world. I can't imagine turning away anyone who shares that vision and has the drive and ability to serve.

I think I'm very knowledgeable about the issues of my constituents.

Donald Trump himself actually said during his campaign that he essentially thinks being unpredictable is a good thing. Maybe that's a good thing in domestic politics, but in foreign policy, that is really stupid.

The entertainment industry is one of the areas where we have a competitive advantage over other nations.

It is important to show up. Showing up at marches and rallies and town halls and protests.

We are not and will never be an authoritarian regime.

America and Israel share an unwavering commitment to democracy and shared values.

A comprehensive Syria strategy, ideally one that's more than 280 characters, remains a key requirement to protect U.S. interests in the Middle East.

California voters are very aware that the Trump administration has been disproportionately awful for the Golden State.

I will fight hard for my constituents in Congress as I have done in the state Senate.

I think over time more people will become more aware of how vulnerable their data is.

Democrats stand with Israel because of our shared values.

Israel serves as America's most reliable strategic partner in the Middle East and supports U.S. regional and global policy objectives.

The U.S. cannot implement a cogent strategy on the world stage if no one is sure whether to take the President seriously.

If President Trump wants to actually prove he's a strong leader, he could start by championing American ideals even when they don't suit him personally.

I realize the most patriotic thing I could do is resist Donald Trump.

As you get a changing of the guard in Washington D.C., with different people from different sectors, you'll start to break through the gridlock.

Congress can pass reasonable gun safety legislation and save lives. We have a duty to the American people to do our job.

The American people understand that what makes the nation great is not people's bloodlines or how long ago their ancestors arrived here, but their character and belief in the Constitution.

I have had strangers come up to me and attempt to mimic the Chinese language in a derogatory manner. I have been told countless times that I speak 'good' English. I have been asked why someone like me would be interested in watching NFL football. On any given day, if I walk around with a camera, I will be mistaken for a tourist from Asia.

The president of the United States has a serious job with deadly serious responsibilities. Rash and impulsive decisions by him can lead to negative outcomes and distractions that undermine the strength of our nation.

I think Kamala Harris would be a fantastic president. I've known her for many years. We've worked on a lot of issues together, including criminal justice reform and also specifically on bail reform. I think she is the leader we need who can unite the American people.

I mean, to call the press the enemy is dangerous and just remarkably bizarre.

President Trump has often crossed the line of what constitutes decent behavior.
