Political Quotes

“There are a lot of people here in this Chamber who all find different issues that interest them that they focus heavily on and move the ball forward in a very positive way. The one thing that I have experienced during my time serving here-- and I am in my first term and serve on the House Foreign Affairs Committee--is that, as the subcommittee chairman of the Terrorism, Nonproliferation, and Trade Subcommittee, what I have experienced is that you do a lot to keep America safe, to keep the women and men of your district and this country safe. So I really do appreciate your service. Because this is not just about reflecting on service in the past, but challenging ourselves to do even more and to provide more opportunity forward. I yield to the gentleman from Texas.”
