Political Quotes

“I want to thank my colleague, Luis Gutierrez, the dean of the Illinois delegation. Ladies and gentlemen of the House, it is my honor to introduce to you one of the most remarkable persons that you will ever want to meet--a fine, outstanding, accomplished public servant, one who has cut her teeth helping to address the pain and the problems of those who reside in the Second Congressional District. This fine woman is a sterling example of the kind of public officials that we send to Washington from the Land of Lincoln. She's beyond reproach in every area of her life. She commits herself day and night to solving the problems of common, everyday, ordinary people. She's a person with keen vision, enormous insight, and enormous capacity to accomplish what she starts out and what she began. She is indeed an inspiration to all of us. She is a person that's going to make this House proud, the State of Illinois proud, and the people from the Second Congressional District very, very proud of her. As the Congressman from the First Congressional District, I'm so glad to introduce you to the new Congresswoman from the Second Congressional District, Robin Kelly.”
