“I know we are going to miss you. I know I am going to miss you, since I am relatively new here. I know, not only because you are on the Committee on Appropriations, the Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure, the Subcommittee on Energy and Water, but what you have done throughout the area is you really have left a legacy for many other individuals in the community, because truly your legislation and your policies have been bipartisan, in the interests of California, in the interests of the Nation. That is important for people to remember when they look at a legislator that is serving us. That is why not only is he well liked and loved in his district, but throughout the Nation and by many of us. You truly are a leader, a visionary, an individual who cares about not only our communities as a whole, and in your district, but you are an individual that is willing to listen on a bipartisan basis and say what is important for our Nation, what is important for California, and take action, which is very important on a bipartisan basis.”
