Martha Roby: “Reclaiming my time, I just want to say that each of the gentlewomen…”

On the recordJune 20, 2018

Reclaiming my time, I just want to say that each of the gentlewomen here all play for an individual who is a survivor or a fighter. I have a colleague who I have served on the city council with in Montgomery, Alabama, for 7 years whose 18-year-old daughter, Courtney, was recently diagnosed with leukemia. So I want all of my colleagues to know that these are the faces and the individuals whom we are playing for on the field tonight. I hope that each of my colleagues will come out. Go, Congress. Beat the press. ____________________
