Political Quotes

“I really think what stands out most to me and what has come through here is that Jack Murtha had a heart of gold. He really cared about people. He cared about the men and women in our Armed Forces. He cared about his colleagues. And he cared about his constituents greatly, especially in his hometown of Johnstown, Pennsylvania. I really didn't get to meet Jack Murtha until I was elected in 2004, but I feel like I really started to get to know him before that. In 2000 I started dating Judy, who is now my wife, and she is from Johnstown. Her family is still in Johnstown. So I would go to visit Judy's family in Johnstown and I would hear people talk about Jack Murtha. I would see what Jack Murtha did for his district. And I knew that his constituents, especially the people of Johnstown, loved Jack Murtha.”
