Political Quotes

“Madam Speaker, I rise in honor of Laura Francis, an American patriot, a selfless neighbor, and a great friend. Since 2018, Laura has served as the chair of the Kansas Republican Party's Big First District. Over the last 6 years, Laura oversaw the helm of a historic chapter of the Kansas GOP's First Congressional District. Laura led our district in a historic election of delegates to secure President Trump's nomination. She rigorously defended our Nation's motto from being erased from law enforcement vehicles, fought to protect our children and their parents' ability to choose an education that is right for them, and grew our conservative base that will reverberate through Kansas politics for many years to come. Somewhere in the middle of her historic term, she fell in love with her husband, Drew. On the same day as their first date, they attended an event that I hosted in my district in Garden City. They shared a phone call with President Trump that day, and the rest of their love story is history. Laura and Drew married nearly 2 years later. Laura is a fierce and loyal leader, but she is an even brighter neighbor, law enforcement community member, friend, mom, wife, and follower of Jesus. Kansas is the pilot light of the country, and I can attest that the pilot light burns stronger and brighter because of Laura. I thank Laura for her commitment and dedication to our congressional district, State, and Nation. It is so deeply appreciated. ____________________”
