Political Quotes

“Mr. Speaker, I rise today to remember the life of the man I knew as Raul, our dearest, fiercest, dedicated Chairman Grijalva. My heart is breaking over the loss of his voice in Congress. The love he had for our planet was as deep as the Grand Canyon he helped protect. His commitment to those who needed it most was inexhaustible. He encouraged me to chair the Subcommittee on Indian and Insular Affairs, and his commitment to Native Americans meant we passed dozens of bipartisan bills on this floor. We legislated together, we protested together, and we laughed together. His spirit will continue to guide my work and that of environmentalists, activists, Latinos, Native Americans, and people who love this beautiful place we call home. ``May he rest in peace with the love of a grateful people.'' ``Que descanses en paz con el amor de un pueblo agradecido.'' ____________________”
