I know I speak for my colleagues when I say that we all loved Jerry. How could you not love Jerry? Her spirit and unwavering optimism and her love for our State and our party made her the quintessential Arizonan. She lived to 104 years…
That ends now. We have a legal and, more importantly, a moral responsibility to keep Native children safe.
Why would I trust anything that you are saying from now on? Why would Representative Schrader trust you or Representative Bonamici trust you?
