Political Quotes

“Madam Speaker, I rise today to invite my colleagues to join my call designating September 2019 as School Bus Safety and Security Month. Earlier this month, I introduced a resolution to honor and show my appreciation to the more than half a million school bus drivers across the country. Over 26 million children rely on public school transportation to get them safely to and from school each year, and September is the perfect month to thank these drivers for keeping our kids safe as they return to school. In rural districts like Colorado's Third Congressional District, many of these drivers find themselves driving great distances facing inclement weather, wildlife, and other hazards that make driving difficult, yet they work tirelessly to ensure safe transportation of our children. Madam Speaker, I would also like to commend the Child Safety Network for their 30 years of commitment to America's children and promoting this resolution. I am truly appreciative of their advocacy on behalf of school safety, and I thank my colleagues who have joined as cosponsors for this important resolution. ____________________”
