Political Quotes

“I come to the floor this evening, first, wanting to take a moment to join Senator Braun in remembering a good friend to each of us, our colleague Congresswoman Jackie Walorski. She tragically passed away in a horrible car accident earlier today. I, for one, am truly devastated. I know that Jackie loved the State of Indiana. She loved the Hoosiers throughout the State. She had an incredible sense of humor, incredibly smart, and was so talented in many ways. And she will be missed. I join countless Hoosiers, and I know that Senator Braun is, in praying for her husband Dean, for her entire family, and for all those who came to love and respect Jackie. I know that so many throughout the State are mourning her passing this evening, and so many will have important things to say about their interaction with her and how fond they were of her. It also should be said that two other Hoosiers passed in this horrible accident, members of her dedicated staff: Emma Thomson and Zach Potts. We pray for all of them. ____________________”
