Political Quotes

“Mr. Speaker, I rise today to remember the incredible life of Gabriele Grunewald, who passed away far too early. Taken by a disease that has impacted the lives of nearly everyone we know, Gabriele was known by the world as an Olympic runner, star track athlete for the University of Minnesota, and someone who fought cancer every step of the way. She used her story and her struggle to share a message of hope. She did this by starting the Brave Like Gabe Foundation, which supports research on rare cancers. A cure is vital, but private and public dollars are necessary to fund this work, which is why we have and should continue to fund the National Institutes of Health. We did not have a cure in time for Gabriele or for all the other loved ones we have already lost, but if we continue to support medical research and innovation, a cure will be found, and we can save future generations from this awful disease. Thanking Brent Hales for His Service and Leadership”
