Political Quotes

“Mr. Speaker, I rise today to highlight the exceptional career of Frank Thomas, who retired in March from Stephens, Inc., a financial services firm headquartered in Little Rock, Arkansas. Frank graduated from the University of Arkansas in 1976 and was the first news director at KUAF, the local Razorback radio station. He quickly rose from local radio to national politics, working for former U.S. Senator David Pryor as his chief of staff. After Frank's time in public service, he felt drawn home to Arkansas and has worked for Stephens for the past 27 years. Stephens has long believed that Arkansas is truly the land of opportunity, and Stephens has invested in and benefited from its long association with our State. In fact, Stephens helped a little-known company called Walmart launch their initial public offering and become the largest retailer in the world. I thank Frank for his service and his lifelong commitment to Arkansas and the Second Congressional District and our Nation. I wish Frank, his wife, and his family many, many happy years ahead.
