Political Quotes

“I think all of us Members of Congress can agree on one thing; that one of the greatest joys of being a Member is knowing the great men and women who work for us day in and day out. These men and women also dedicate their lives to serving others and serving our country. Today, I honor one such man, my former chief of staff, Brandon Cox, who as of Friday will be moving on to bigger and better challenges. I first met Brandon 8 years ago as a staffer for my campaign, and I saw a confident young man who knew politics better than anyone, worked harder than anyone, had a memory for details that is unmatched, and who demanded excellence from himself and others. Brandon has been an accomplished manager, first of my campaign and for the last 4 years, of my entire congressional staff. When you are elected as a freshman, you are often advised to not hire your campaign manager as your chief, but I did not listen, thankfully. I knew I needed someone who knew Nevada's Third Congressional District, who always had my back, who knew me, and knew how to get things done. My office was better for it, but most importantly, my constituents were better for it. Brandon, it has been a good run. Wishing you all the best. ____________________”
