Quote:
"Comprehensive countermeasures to target the hardcore drunk driving population are critical. As the co-chair of the <i>Congressional Stop DUI Caucus</i>, and father to a daughter injured by a drunk driver, eliminating our nation’s roads of these dangerous drivers is an issue that is very important to me."
