Political Quotes

“Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate a group of young men who had an excellent undefeated season at LSU and won the national championship. I also rise to congratulate Coach Orgeron for his leadership in shaping not only those young men on the field, but off the field also. I also take great pride, Mr. Speaker, in recognizing one outstanding individual on that team, his name is Grant Delpit. Grant Delpit was my first batboy at the congressional baseball game. Last year he was the unanimous All-American, and this year he caused a fumble in the national championship game. But more importantly, his parents, a lawyer, law enforcement, and his grandmother serves on the board of a charter school in my district. They are an exceptional family. Mr. Speaker, we have a commitment that when we see our young people doing well that we recognize them and congratulate them. So, to all of the outstanding young men at LSU for winning the national championship, and to Grant Delpit for excelling in the classroom, off and on the field, I just want to say congratulations, we recognize you. And good luck in whatever you do in your future. ____________________”
