Political Quotes

“this month, my community, Montgomery County, Pennsylvania, lost a giant, Jean E. Corrigan. Whenever I hear the term ``grassroots'' or ``boots on the ground,'' I think of Jean. She believed wholeheartedly and full-throatily in Democratic values and devoted her life to them. It didn't matter if it was for the school board or the American President; Jean gave herself entirely to candidates who she believed in. She led by example, always willing to knock doors, make calls, and volunteer at polling places. She served on countless committees and was vice chair of her local party, the Abington-Rockledge Democratic Committee. Her front porch was an election season hub of lawn signs, literature, lists, and listening sessions on the latest intel. All the while, Jean was a devoted wife and mother. Her husband, Pete; children, Joe, Dave, and Pauline; and her beautiful granddaughters were lucky to have them in her corner. I was lucky to have Jean in my corner, too, and we were all lucky that the Corrigans shared Jean and her many talents with us. May God bless Jean Corrigan. She taught us well.”
