Political Quotes

“I would like to recognize and thank the Senator from Kansas, Pat Roberts. He has served the people of Kansas and our Nation in Congress for nearly 40 years, serving 16 years in the House of Representatives and in U.S. Senate since 1997. Over the past 4 years, I have had the pleasure of serving with Senator Roberts in the Senate, including on the Committee on Rules and Administration and the Finance Committee for the last 2 years. Senator Roberts has been a pragmatic partner on legislation focused on supporting rural hospitals and telehealth access during the pandemic. We introduced the Rural ACO Improvement Act to support rural health care providers as well as the Ensuring Parity in Medicare Advantage for Audio-Only Telehealth Act to protect seniors' access to telehealth visits even when video is not available during the COVID-19 public health emergency. I respect and appreciate Senator Roberts's dedication to these important issues. Senator Roberts has had a long and esteemed tenure in Congress, and his emphasis on working across the aisle can be seen clearly with the record number of votes in favor for the 2018 farm bill. His evident love for his family, rich heritage as a fourth-generation Kansan, and his call for levity and humor in the Senate to ensure bipartisanship will be remembered for years to come. I thank Senator Roberts and wish him, his wife Franki, and his family all the best in the coming years. ____________________”
