I am proud to also rise to salute our newest congressman, Congressman Bob Brady from Pennsylvania, who, as discussed earlier by prior speakers, has always been someone who has been a consensus builder, but he is also a coalition builder, someone to bring disparate groups together for a common good. He has always been a great listener. To be a great congressman, you have to be a good listener. As a people person, he will work to make sure that, not only make sure the First District is represented, but he also has a regional view to not only what is good for Philadelphia, but what is good for Pennsylvania and what is good for the Nation. Knowing of his principles and his core beliefs, we will have a great congressman come forward to help make this Nation stronger and help make this House stronger. Congratulations to Bob Brady and his family, and we are looking forward to serving with him.
