Political Quotes

“Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor the life of a young man in my district. On February 1, Andrew Spyrow of Bettendorf passed away after a nearly 4-year battle with brain cancer. Andrew was a lifelong native of Bettendorf, graduating from Our Lady of Lourdes and Assumption High School, where he developed many lifelong friendships. He loved playing sports and running, participating in several marathons across the country. I first met Andrew in 2014 when he volunteered and worked at the RNC victory office in Bettendorf. Andrew was a devoted husband, son, and father. After his cancer diagnosis, Andrew built a beautiful family. He married his best friend and love of his life, Mary. They had two beautiful children, Audrey and Oliver. No matter what was happening in his life, Andrew always put the needs of others first. Even when he was fighting cancer, he always made sure to ask how others were doing, never complaining about his diagnosis. Andrew's family, friends, and his RNC friends are in our prayers during this difficult time. ____________________”
