Political Quotes

“Mr. Speaker, today I rise to recognize two constituents of mine, Rodney and Loretta Tyre, the owners of T&T BBQ and Southern Home Cooking in Jasper, Florida. As Hurricane Idalia made its way across north-central Florida, thousands of Floridians were left without power for days. The small community of Jasper, located just a few miles south of the Georgia border, is a tight-knit community, and, quite frankly, when disaster struck, they sprang into action. The owners of T&T BBQ worked to serve the community using a standby generator, providing fresh meals to all those whose homes and businesses had been damaged or lost in the storm. They worked out of the kindness of their hearts during a time of need for many. It is folks like the Tyree family who make north-central Florida the best place to live, work, play, and raise a family. Thank you, Rodney and Loretta, for everything that you do for our community.
