Political Quotes

“Congressional fellows are an integral part of our business here on Capitol Hill. They come from throughout the executive branch and bring a wealth of expertise and perspective to their work. The most recent fellow to serve in my office was not only an outstanding addition to the staff for nearly 2 years, but was rather unique to us in that she was a major in the U.S. Marine Corps. She was also a dedicated mother of two, and became affectionately known among the staff as 'Major Mom.' Maj. Debra Biely is a dedicated, intelligent, and extremely articulate professional who quickly became a valued and trusted member of my legislative staff. As a military LA, she worked on the full range of issues relating to national defense and the space program. Her years of experience as a Marine officer, together with her in-depth understanding of the programming and budgeting process, were always evident in the quality, accuracy, and timeliness of her work. Major Biely always provided me and my permanent staff with sound, thoughtful analysis of often complex national security issues.”
