Political Quotes

“We are ready to close. Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume. I just want to say again thank you to my good friend for allowing me to be a part of this. I know how important it is to her and, again, thousands and thousands like her; and, again, to my friend Fonnie Godwin back home, Fonnie has touched so many lives. She is a teacher, she is a wife and a mother, and she is involved in her church and her community. On Christmas Eve, she will be at First Presbyterian Church in Dunn playing the bells in the choir. I always see a smile on Fonnie's face, and today, I want to make that smile even bigger. Again, Mr. Speaker, thank you so much for allowing this to move forward today, and I yield back the balance of my time. The SPEAKER pro tempore (Mr. Fleischmann).
