“Thank you, Mr. Rogers. I appreciate this opportunity. For those of us in the Kentucky delegation, Kentucky always comes first, and I appreciate this opportunity to welcome Tom Massie and his family to the House of Representatives and also to the Kentucky delegation. Tom has very big shoes to fill. He steps in the shoes of Geoff Davis, who honorably served that Fourth Congressional District for a number of years. He now has the responsibility of representing about 20,000 of my former constituents, and I think 15\1/2\ holes of that hallowed golf course which he now has in his district. I want to welcome Thomas and his family, thank them for their service in advance, congratulate them on their election, and also invite Tom to join the Congressional Bourbon Caucus, which is one of the most popular caucuses in the Congress.”
