Political Quotes

“This Hispanic Heritage Month, I want to honor a powerful community mother in our district. She is an advocate. She has been a social worker for over 40 years. Our community mother, Mary Turner, serves with so much incredible commitment to community. Mary's Catholic faith drove her to service. In southwest Detroit where there are 20 different ethnicities, you will find someone who has a story about Mary helping their family. She brings so much heart and humanity to everything that she does, helping families navigate our broken, inhumane immigration system that too often works against them. Her commitment to justice, equality, and compassion reminds us of the essential contributions that our Latino neighbors make every day in our Nation. Mary doesn't just serve our community, she empowers us. As we celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month and the more than 63 million Hispanic and Latino Americans in our country, let's honor people like Mary Turner and continue to fight for a future where every person, regardless of their background, has access to the opportunities they deserve. I thank Mary Turner for her many years of service. She continues to inspire us all. Hazardous Waste”
