Political Quotes

“today, I am very proud that the Senate just passed Leader McConnell's and my resolution calling for Ryan Corbett's immediate and unconditional release. By passing this resolution today, the Senate sends a resounding message that it is time to bring Ryan home. This weekend is Ryan's birthday. We are all thinking about him because it has now been 609 days since Ryan, a New York native, was unjustly detained by the Taliban in Afghanistan during a routine business trip. I met with Ryan's beautiful family this week, and I told them the Senate is standing with them and has their back. I promised them that as long as Ryan is held by the Taliban, I will never stop fighting to bring him back home and unite him with Anna, his children, and his family as quickly as possible. Again, I thank Leader McConnell for joining me in this legislation. ____________________”
