Political Quotes

“I rise today to congratulate Mr. Marvin Simpson, Sr., on his nearly five-decade service to the United States Senate and the Capitol Hill community. Marvin began his career 48 years-ago in the Office of the Architect of the Capitol as a temporary messenger. He quickly rose to a permanent position as messenger for the Senate Office Building. He held many positions within the Office of the Architect of the Capitol, including laborer foreman and the head of the Furniture Division. In 1998, Marvin was promoted to assistant superintendent, Tenant Services Division where he served with distinction until his retirement. His leadership overseeing paint, upholstery, wood crafting, masonry, sheet metal and furniture branches has been exemplary. Marvin has been called an ambassador to the Senate office buildings and has provided Senators, our staffs, and the entire Senate family unmatched craftsmanship. His institutional knowledge and work ethic will be greatly missed. I join with my colleagues in wishing Mr. Simpson all the best in his well-earned retirement. ____________________”
