Political Quotes

“Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor and thank one of the longest serving members of Team Scalise, a son of Covington, Georgia, and a proud Ole Miss alum, Bart Reising. Bart came to the Hill in 2011 after working on political campaigns and served my good friends, Austin Scott and Bill Flores, as their scheduler before joining my team in 2014 as operations director during the last few months of my chairmanship of the Republican Study Committee. Bart continued his role as operations director when I was elected majority whip. He kept our office operations moving smoothly. Bart made sure that the workers in this beautiful Capitol, the men and women who literally make sure we have a functioning building, and the Capitol Police who protect us always knew that Team Scalise appreciated their efforts. Later, as my member services director, he worked with so many of my colleagues from both sides of the aisle to make sure their needs were heard and taken care of. When I became the majority leader and all my staff's roles and responsibilities expanded, Bart took on the role of deputy chief of staff, a position that my chief has often reminded me has been instrumental to the success of our team and our House majority in the last Congress. Bart has been a mentor to so many young Hill staffers, always taking time out of his incredibly busy schedule to meet with interns and staffers alike, providing invaluable guidance as they navigate their Hill careers.…”
