Chris Coons: 我相信我的信仰引导了我人生中许多重要的选择，包括进入公共服务。我妻子Annie在我决定辞去私营部门的工作竞选地方公职时给予了重要的支持。起初我并没有想过自己会走到今天这一步，成为一名参议员，这其中有许多偶然和幸运的因素。然而，我的信仰一直指引着我，让我关注社会边缘群体，努力为他们服务。我的父母也以身作则，通过在监狱事工、帮助无家可归者和难民等行动，向我展示了信仰的真谛。他们并没有过多地谈论信仰，而是用行动来诠释它。我的信仰也影响着我在参议院的工作，我努力在两党之间寻求共识，推动社会正义，关注经济公平，帮助穷人和弱势群体。虽然我和其他议员在具体政策上可能存在分歧，但我们都致力于实现弥迦书6:8中提到的‘施行公义，好怜悯，存谦卑的心，与你的神同行’的教导。我与来自不同党派的同事保持着良好的关系，我们一起祈祷，一起反思，一起努力为国家服务。在困难时期，我的信仰给了我安慰和力量，让我能够从更长远的眼光看待问题，保持希望和勇气。
