Political Quotes

“I just wanted to let my friend Senator Blunt, whom I have been talking about now on the floor--I just wanted to say, with him here--and I knew he was going to be here shortly, but I just want to say again what a real pleasure and honor it has been to partner with my friend Senator Blunt in this really major movement to transform the way we fund community mental health and addiction services. And our Presiding Officer has also been a leader in this. I want to thank her for that as well. But I just want to thank my partner, as I was indicating before we came down, on the 50th anniversary of President Kennedy's signing his last bill. And I am pleased we have been able to pick up the torch, and we are going to get it over the finish line and make sure these wonderful services are available across the country.”
