Political Quotes

On the recordMarch 23, 2016
Yesterday was a very important day in my family's life. I have been the happiest man for 2 years, ever since I married my wife Monica and, also, the birth of Sky and Sage, my twin daughters. They are here with me today. We celebrated their first birthday yesterday with friends and family and good folks. It has been one of those years of reflection that makes us all human--being a father, being a husband, and having a family. That is the essence that combines us all, as human beings. I urge my colleagues to pause, celebrate their families, celebrate their children, their parents, hug them, love them, and let's remember we are all part of the human family. ____________________
