Political Quotes

“In the time since this body last adjourned, storms and extreme weather have ravaged large portions of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. The resulting floods have devastated communities across the Fifth District of Pennsylvania, including--but quite possibly not limited to--Venango, Jefferson, Clearfield, Clinton, and Centre Counties, all of which I represent. In the days following these events, I joined with State and local officials and others in the impacted communities to help those coping with loss to assess the damage and to begin the process of rebuilding. Though so many individuals and families are faced with loss and despair, it was truly inspiring to witness these communities come together to help fellow neighbors in need. I take the floor today to offer my thoughts and prayers to those affected by these events, especially to those grieving over the loss of a loved one. These individuals need our support and the care of a helping hand more than ever. ____________________”
