Paul Tonko: “There you have it, just a few of the colleagues of Louise Slaughter…”

On the recordApril 17, 2018

There you have it, just a few of the colleagues of Louise Slaughter who shared their sentiments. You can tell that she had this lasting touch upon each and every one of us. We are made better because we crossed paths in life, we travelled journeys together, and she will leave a forever quality in our hearts and our souls. And to our champion, our trailblazer, the true voice for the weak voice or underheard in government, the pioneer expression, the drum major for women, it goes on and on--she earned so many labels--to our friend, Louise Slaughter, our colleague, our mentor, rest in peace, beloved friend. Mr. Speaker, I yield back the balance of my time.
