Political Quotes

“I rise today to celebrate Bob Fischer, a proud product of South Buffalo and the incredible manager of the Democratic Cloakroom, on his well-deserved retirement after almost four decades of serving the people's House. In 1987, Bob came to Congress not knowing how long he would stay or what kind of mark he would leave on this institution. But the Lord works in mysterious ways, and we are here today as Members of Congress to express our sincere gratitude and appreciation for his distinguished contributions and dedication to this institution, the people's House, for nearly four decades. In fact, after almost four decades of service here in the people's House, it is clear to me that other than his family, the only entity that Bob loves more than the House of Representatives is the Buffalo Bills, who, in fact, are playing tonight. The work that we do as Members of Congress exists in the public domain, but the American people don't often get to see folks like Bob who keep this place running and who support the hundreds of Representatives and our staff with whatever we need.”
