Political Quotes

“Today this House welcomes the winners of the Congressional Art Competition to the Nation's Capital. Students from all over the country have traveled to Washington to proudly display their works of art in the tunnel to the Capitol for the next year. The Congressional Institute hosts the nationwide competition each year to showcase and inspire the artistic talent of high school students from each congressional district. I am proud of the 37 students from my district who submitted entries. I am thrilled to welcome our first-place winner, Cassy Lester of Reynoldsville, for her acrylic painting titled ``Chocolate Lab.'' Cassy attends Jeff Tech, and it is an honor to recognize a career and technical education student as our winner this year. She was honored with her fellow winners from the States across the Nation at this afternoon's luncheon, and earlier today, I was able to give Cassy and her family a tour of the Capitol. Congratulations to Cassy and all of this year's winners. We are grateful to have your art brighten the walls of the tunnel of this Capitol for the year ahead. ____________________”
