Political Quotes

“Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the outstanding work of the Farmington High School Rogue Robotics Team, a local robotics team that built a functioning power wheelchair for 2-year-old Cillian Jackson. Cillian was born with a genetic disorder that makes it very difficult for him to get around. Buying a wheelchair would have been cost- prohibitive for his family, so his parents turned to the students of Farmington High School for their expertise and ingenuity. The students of Farmington rose to the occasion and reimagined a Power Wheels into a power wheelchair by outfitting it with a new seat and a joystick that allow Cillian to move around on his own. I congratulate the Farmington robotics team for their ingenuity and hard work in making this possible. They are an example of what is possible when communities come together and share their talents and ideas to help our neighbors. ____________________”
