Political Quotes

“Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the incredible service of two very special Members of this Chamber who are retiring after this term, Will Hurd of Texas and Tulsi Gabbard of Hawaii. Will Hurd is a native son of San Antonio, Texas, and a graduate of Texas A&M University, where he was a student body president and graduated with a degree in computer science and international relations. After graduation, Will spent 9 years working and serving our country for the CIA. While primarily based here in Washington, D.C., Will was also stationed overseas in Afghanistan and Pakistan and India. And while in Pakistan, Will worked undercover and became fluent in the native language. In the CIA, Will worked to keep our national security safe, thwarting terrorism across the globe, and putting nuclear weapons proliferators out of business. Part of his responsibilities in Washington was to brief Members of Congress here on the Hill on intelligence and national security issues, which undoubtedly sparked his interest in politics. During his time in Congress, Will has been a leading Member on cybersecurity, artificial intelligence, immigration, and tech issues. He worked incredibly hard to ensure that the Department of Homeland Security is able to work efficiently and effectively, modernize our immigration system, and speak on the need to stay ahead of our adversaries in cybersecurity and technology.…”
