Political Quotes

“I rise today in honor of my good friend, Michael Tennant. For the last 14 years, Mike has served as chairman of the Sun Lakes Republican Club, an active East Valley community in my district. He is a true patriot. Mike was born on November 25, 1949, in Orion, Illinois. He had a long career with International Harvester in Illinois and Wisconsin, but ultimately settled with his lovely wife, Sandy, in the great State of Arizona. Mike's life wasn't without its challenges. While living in Wisconsin, he courageously battled leukemia and survived, thanks to a lifesaving bone marrow transplant from his brother. Since retiring to Sun Lakes, Mike has dedicated his time to serving his community. He is well known as a grassroots activist for the conservative cause. I am also happy to see a smiling face at grassroots meetings, rallies with the President, get-out-the-vote efforts, and more. I am truly grateful to Mike for following his call to service and to Sandy for supporting him. As Mike steps down as chairman after 14 years of dedicated leadership, I am honored to celebrate him here today and to call him a friend.”
