Political Quotes

“I rise in support of H.R. 5489, to designate the facility of the United States Postal Service located at 6892 Main Street in Gloucester, Virginia, as the ``Congresswoman Jo Ann S. Davis Post Office.'' I would like to thank Congressman Rob Wittman for introducing this legislation to honor the memory of our colleague and friend. Congresswoman Davis was not only my House colleague, she was my Virginia colleague who represented the First District of Virginia--a district, which she proudly called ``America's 1st District'' because of our country's roots at Jamestown and the many significant events in history, which occurred there. Her career in elected office spanned 10 short years--from her first election in 1997 to the Virginia House of Delegates to her four elected terms in the House beginning in 2000. But over that decade, she made her mark as a deeply caring and hard-working public servant who believed in commonsense, conservative ideals. She was a person of honesty, integrity, and strong moral conviction in representing her district and living her life. She was a dedicated and tenacious fighter for her beliefs, and the importance of her faith was obvious in the way she cared for and treated others. And, above all else, she worked tirelessly to protect the interests of the men and women in uniform, their families, and veterans.”
