Political Quotes

“Thank you again to Congresswoman Karen Bass for reminding us of all the great riches that we have in this society, but also for putting on the forefront that our work is not finished. There is hope. Because we have learned that through having a President who stands on the shoulders of another great man--Martin Luther King. Mr. Speaker, it is indeed my honor and privilege to yield to the gentleman from Louisiana (Mr. Richmond), who hails from the Second District of Louisiana. He is someone who is fearless and not afraid to speak up, but he doesn't speak in vain. He speaks with a platform-- whether that platform is to discuss reforming our broken prison system, whether it is to talk about HBCUs, or whether it is to be a role model--and he knows a lot about that because he is a natural leader. When he took office in the State legislature, he was one of the youngest legislators to ever serve. So it is indeed my honor to call Congressman Cedric Richmond a colleague and friend.”
