Political Quotes

“It is with great honor on behalf of the entire Louisiana delegation that we welcome Troy Carter into the congressional delegation. Of course, for Troy, this is not his first time in public service. In fact, he has committed his life to public service. He served in the State legislature in the House of Representatives, then served multiple terms on the New Orleans City Council, and then went back to the State legislature serving as a senator. In fact, until last week, he served with distinction in the Louisiana State Senate. He is replacing, of course, our dear former colleague, Cedric Richmond, and we are proud to see Cedric make his way down Pennsylvania Avenue to come over here to the House to be a part of this special ceremony. Speaking on behalf of the entire Louisiana delegation, Madam Speaker, we look forward to continuing that great tradition as Republicans and Democrats working together for the best interests of our great State of Louisiana as well as for the Nation. We welcome Troy Carter to the delegation and to the United States Congress. Madam Speaker, I yield to Congressman Troy Carter.”
