Political Quotes

“Mr. Speaker, I rise to celebrate the career of Doris Jackson, who will be retiring after more than 33 years of service to the U.S. House of Representatives. Doris began working as a cashier in the Cannon Cafe in 1980 and eventually became a supervisor. After more than three decades, there have been many changes as Members and staff have come and gone, but Doris' smile has remained ever present. I know that I speak for every Member, staffer, and intern who has had the privilege of knowing Doris when I say that we will miss her witty sense of humor and her willingness to give encouragement to everyone she meets. In retirement, Doris plans to spend more time with family, especially her grandchildren, and to stay active in her community by volunteering at her church. Mr. Speaker, Doris has dedicated her life to serving us as we strive to serve our constituents. On behalf of our congressional family, I wish Doris the best of luck in the next exciting chapter in her life. Congratulations, Doris. ____________________”
