Political Quotes

“In my 20 years of elective office, I have served every one of those days with my colleague, Carrie Meek. The Congresswoman from Florida has been a distinguished member of every institution I have had the pleasure to serve. In those many years, the gentlewoman from Florida (Mrs. Meek) has distinguished herself as a dedicated public servant, carrying the water on so many items of interest to south Florida and, indeed, our Nation; because I think her legacy extends far beyond her Liberty City district, far beyond our Sunshine State, far beyond our borders. She leaves a legacy of leadership, of dignity, of dedication, and a real sense of community service. Carrie, we are going to have you to kick around for a lot of years. You are not retiring; you are going to be in our hearts and you are going to be in our community for many decades to come. I cannot imagine serving here without you.”
