Political Quotes

“I thank the gentlewoman for yielding. Mr. Speaker, I will take a few seconds to say thank you to the Congressional Black Caucus, to Congresswoman Jackson Lee; Congresswoman Terri Sewell; the chair of the Congressional Black Caucus, Joyce Beatty; and so many members. Mr. Speaker, I have been watching the presentation. It is so heartwarming, but I did not want to miss the chance to say thank you to all of you for this commemoration of this 56th anniversary. For so many of us who have gone there many times over, it is a hole in our heart not to be able to be there for our precious John Lewis, who gave us so much. In the next couple of days, we are going to be talking about justice, jobs, healthcare, and all the things that he stood for. And we are going to pass H.R. 1 and H.R. 4 and have the John Lewis language become law. Mr. Speaker, I, again, thank the Congressional Black Caucus.”
