Political Quotes

“Mr. Speaker, I rise today to highlight the town of Pima, one of the many unique and special rural communities in my district. This town has a long history of bravery, service, and sacrifice. This town, during World War II, lost 27 men, accounting for the greatest loss suffered by any community in the country on a per capita basis. Today, a memorial to these men stands at the local high school. I was able to spend some time in Pima over the August work period, and I had the opportunity to visit their local fire station. Like many communities across the country, these firefighters are all a volunteer force. I was inspired by these individuals' commitment to their community, running toward the danger when their neighbors need them most. It is clear that these Arizonans have a strong dedication to not only each other and their community, but service to our country as a whole. Mr. Speaker, I am honored to represent them in Congress. ____________________”
