Political Quotes

“Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor a leader in my community and a person I consider one of the most impactful individuals in the history of Louisville, Sadiqa Reynolds, in her final days as president and CEO of the Urban League of Louisville. It was only 7 years ago that Sadiqa was an esteemed judge, a role where she conducted herself with impartiality and kept her feelings and opinions to herself. My, how times change. As head of the Urban League, Sadiqa has held nothing back, leading with an open heart and open mind, speaking out for Louisville's marginalized communities with the passion and eloquence necessary to create positive, lasting change in people's lives. You cannot drive Louisville's streets without seeing Sadiqa's impact. Our West End has begun a much-awaited transformation in the last few years, anchored in large part by a new world-class track and field and education complex, which she conceived and spearheaded. Sadiqa, you have been the conscience of our community, leading the fight against injustice in historic times. We are a better city because of your leadership. We are grateful for your service and can't wait to see what you will achieve next. ____________________”
