Political Quotes

“Mr. Speaker, I rise today to celebrate the life and legacy of my constituent, Peter Ramage, who passed away recently at the age of 86. Pete was a lifelong resident and dedicated civic leader in Etna. He was a fellow Navy veteran with 4 years of service. He was a dedicated educator, rising to the rank of vice principal in Pittsburgh Public Schools and then principal of All Saints Catholic Grade School. Pete was committed to his community. Serving as Etna Borough Council president for 46 years, public service was in Pete's bones. In western Pennsylvania, a life like Pete's, devoted to family, community, and country, shows exactly who we are. We are humble, proud, and always ready to do our part. Pete embodied the very best of western Pennsylvania values: hard work, patriotism, and sacrifice. I am holding Pete's wife, Mary Ellen, his family, and his entire community in my heart as we celebrate his life and mourn his passing. Fair winds and following seas, Pete. ____________________”
