Political Quotes

“Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the life and passing of my friend, Elijah Cummings. When I first came to Congress a few terms ago, I teamed up with Mr. Cummings to introduce a bill honoring the life and legacy of Harriet Tubman. When I approached Mr. Cummings about this bill, he didn't ask me what party I was in. He didn't ask me what my political philosophies were. He didn't care about partisanship. What he cared about is the fact that we had a common interest; that being, Harriet Tubman. I always appreciated that and in the years that have passed since then, we continued to cosponsor that bill and continued to push it. I am sad to hear of his passing, and I offer my prayers to his wife and family, and I pray that he is united with God right now. And I think going forward, we can all be happy and proud of the legacy he set for us here in Congress. ____________________”
