Political Quotes

“Mr. Speaker, it is with a heavy heart that I rise today to honor the life of former Hamilton County Auditor Brigid Kelly who lost her battle with cancer on March 26, 2024. Brigid lived an incredible life of service. She was a true public servant who focused on improving the lives of Ohio families. She worked to bridge the partisan divides and make a difference for our citizens, first as a Norwood city councilwoman, then as a State representative, and most recently as Hamilton County auditor. While serving as representative, Brigid dedicated herself to easing the burdens that young families face. In every role she served, she did that. Brigid gave of herself to put constituents first, champion their needs, and attempt to ensure their lives could be made better. Her well-earned reputation of sincere civility was known and respected by all. My prayers go out to all who knew and loved Brigid. The Cincinnati community, the State of Ohio, and our Nation mourn with her family and friends. May Brigid's memory continue to inspire us and future generations to serve our community with the same spirit of selfless service. ____________________”
