Political Quotes

“Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Tyler G. Brown, an author and constituent from Dallas, Oregon. Not only is Tyler an author, but he is also a corporal with the Grande Ronde Tribal Police Department. Late last year, Tyler published his first book, ``Tribal Honor.'' His story is an inspiring one. This is actually the third novel he has written, as the first two did not make it into print. However, the setback did not stop him from realizing his dream of becoming a published author. In his debut novel, Tyler blends his experience as a law enforcement officer with his passion for thrillers, mystery, and action-packed fiction novels. Unsurprisingly, his first novel quickly climbed the crime action fiction charts. Every year, the Readers' Favorite International Book Award contest announces the top books in a variety of categories, and this year they had a record amount of entries. The contest showcases thousands of authors from around the world, and ``Tribal Honor'' won the gold medal in the action-fiction category. As the daughter of a police officer, I know firsthand the challenges that come with being in law enforcement. Mr. Speaker, I want to let Tyler know how grateful I am for his dedication to keeping the Grande Ronde Tribe safe and how pleased I am to see his novel get the recognition it deserves. I thank him for inspiring people and showing them that they should always chase their dreams. I extend my heartfelt congratulations to him and his family.…”
