Political Quotes

“the State of Nevada has had 23 Senators, and never in the history of the State of Nevada on any level of government have there been two elected officials who have worked more closely together than Senators Bryan and Reid. We took the bar together in 1963. He then began service for a short period of time as a private attorney. Then he became a prosecuting attorney and then Nevada's first public defender. We went to the State legislature together in 1967 where we were known as the ``gold dust twins.'' We were the only two freshmen in that 60-body legislature. That was the beginning of our love for the legislative process. Senator Bryan went on to serve, after the Nevada Assembly, in the State senate, then to serve as attorney general of the State of Nevada, as Governor of Nevada, elected twice, and then he came to Washington as a U.S. Senator. No one in the history of the State of Nevada has had such an electric and exciting political career as Senator Richard Bryan. I feel so fortunate that this partnership we have developed over the years is one we both feel good about.”
