Political Quotes

“Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize an amazing member of our community. Nicky Christopher is a 12-year-old from Yardley, Pennsylvania, who has been working to brighten the day of people across our community. Over the last several months, Nicky has decorated dozens of homes to celebrate birthdays, graduations, and bar and bat mitzvahs and other causes for celebration. In an amazing show of community spirit, families have donated supplies and decorations to help Nicky continue to bring joy across our community. And while Nicky receives some cash donations, he takes any money that is not spent on supplies, and he donates that money to children who have been displaced from their homes. Mr. Speaker, Nicky's kindness and generosity are an inspiration for our entire community and our entire Nation. I know that he has been able to brighten the day of so many people in our community when they have really needed it the most. Last month I had the opportunity to meet Nicky over Zoom, and I cannot say enough about what an amazing young man he is and how proud I am to represent him in Congress and how incredibly proud his family must be. Mr. Speaker, I thank Nicky for bringing so much light to our community and to our Nation. We need more people like him. ____________________”
