Political Quotes

“I have never been more proud of my constituents than I have been on the many occasions, virtually every week that I have had the chance to visit one school or another in my district and talk to the students of all ages about their views of their community, our State, our Nation, and the problems that face us. During the Presidents Day recess, I conducted a series of very special seminars with the high school students throughout my district. The subject of the seminars was the problem of crime. Mr. Speaker, I represent three different counties in the State of Ohio: Ashtabula County, Lake County, and Cuyahoga County. In each of those communities the superintendents and principals of the high schools were good enough to bring together students from all of the different high schools, public and private, into a seminar setting where I could meet with them, discuss with them the issue of crime and learn from them what they would like Congress to do.”
