Political Quotes

“Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate my good friend and fellow Ohioan, Bill Johnson, as he steps away from Congress to serve the students, staff, and faculty of Youngstown State University. I have had the honor to work alongside Bill for a number of years, and one thing I have learned is that he is passionate about public service. I met Bill in 2010 during his first campaign for Congress where he was faced with the tall task of unseating an incumbent. As we all know, Bill never shies away from a challenge, and he came out from the other side victorious thanks to his relentless work ethic and dedication to serving the communities of eastern Ohio. He provided guidance and support to me when I decided to run for Congress, and he was an important resource for me when I worked to earn a spot alongside him on the Energy and Commerce Committee, the greatest committee on Capitol Hill. We will certainly miss having Bill here in Washington, and I wish him; his wife, LeeAnn; and his son, Nathan, the best in this exciting new chapter of their lives. ____________________”
