Political Quotes

“Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the life of Sergio Klor de Alva. Sergio was a member of the Farr congressional team, and was taken from us in a tragic accident late Monday night. Sergio served as an intern in my office. He was engaging, kind, and ever helpful. Upon leaving Washington, he returned to the University of California at Santa Cruz, and he won a place on the student council. He later volunteered his time to work in Congressman Mike Honda's reelection campaign. At 24, he had amassed a resume that spoke to the dedication and passion he had for civil service. I was and continue to be impressed with this young man's incredible ambition. His future would have undoubtedly been one of public service. Upon leaving my office, Sergio said in his exit interview: I cannot tell the future, but I can see mine here. But until that day, know that I will miss this place. Rest assured, Sergio, this place will miss you. God bless your short, but so meaning meaningful, life and your beautiful family who have to live in the tragedy of your death. ____________________”
