I hope, in times of great challenge, I have as much conviction, integrity, and courage as Mitt Romney and Doug Jones.

I hope I have the conviction to know what is right, even if others do not.

I hope I have the integrity to say what is right, even if it is hard.

I hope I have the courage to do what is right, even if it hurts.

I hope I can be like Romney and Jones.
