In an attempt to bolster his status as an "independent thinker" in an appearance on Fox 25 Morning News, Sen. Scott Brown, R-Mass., highlighted the legislation that he and President Obama have agreed on.

The sole Republican member of Congress from Massachusetts, Brown faces a tough battle with Democratic opponent Elizabeth Warren.

"The president just signed into law my 3 percent withholding bill, the Hire a Hero veterans bill, the Arlington Cemetery bill," he told Fox. "I mean, I could go on and on and on." 

Brown, who has been supporting left-leaning policies as of late, also referred to himself as the most bipartisan senator in Congress.
