Political Quotes

“Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor the life and legacy of former Lucas County commissioner and a dear friend, Sandra ``Sandy'' Isenberg, a trailblazer in northwest Ohio and a shero for our community. Serving as commissioner for 17 years, Sandy was a fierce and dedicated public servant with good humor and a love of people. Her impact will be felt for generations. She paved the way for women in government when there were few role models, and she held her ground with both strength and grace and with a fierce loyalty to our home county. She fought tirelessly for the little gal and the little guy, bringing voice and dignity to all corners of our community. Her relentless work brought help to thousands of people and transformative projects to our community, like Fifth Third Field, the home of the Toledo Mud Hens, a redevelopment beacon for downtown Toledo that she championed. Personally, I will always remember her wise counsel and humor. She stood shoulder to shoulder with us in every fight that mattered for our working families. Truly, northwest Ohio has lost a true advocate, friend, and formidable force. Madam Speaker, today, we remember Sandy Isenberg with gratitude, and our community must carry forward her legacy of courage, compassion, and unyielding service. May our love and gratitude help heal her beloved family, her sister, Barbara; Barbara's husband, Alan; her sons, Michael and Dennis; and her grandchildren, Madison, Morgan, Max, and Maris.…”
