Political Quotes

“Mr. President, I also wanted to welcome the Senator from Nebraska. I am honored to be her mentor. There are three things I wish to say. First, we need a woman rancher in the Senate. I was sitting here thinking about the last famous woman who was a rancher, Sandra Day O'Connor. She grew up on a ranch. Second, she possesses interest in agriculture and the pragmatic, practical economic issues shared by a lot of us in the Midwest. I am looking forward to working with her on those issues. Third, when she speaks about bipartisanship, she means it. She comes from a background where she actually worked to get things done in her State legislature. We need more of this in the Senate. Welcome, Senator Fischer. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from California.”
