Political Quotes

“Mr. Speaker, I rise today to remember the life of Matthew Osborne, a dedicated editor, family man, and cherished member of the northeast Georgian community, who tragically passed away last month. After graduating from George Washington University right here in D.C., he began his 25-year career in journalism as a sportswriter in Florida. Over the years, Matthew worked for several newspapers, going on to become the editor of The Northeast Georgian in 2019. His love of writing and commitment to objectivity earned him respect, not only from his peers but from his local readers. Matthew won numerous State and regional awards for his outstanding work, and through it all, he never lost his passion for covering sports. Matthew is more than a talented reporter and editor. He was also a devoted husband to his wife, Samantha, a family man, and father to their three boys, Hunter, Cal, and Ollie. Mr. Speaker, may God continue to comfort Samantha and her sons, as well as Matthew's peers and loved ones, during this difficult time. Georgia's Ninth District will always remember the profound impact that Matthew Osborne had on his readers and on our community as a whole. ____________________”
