Political Quotes

“Mr. Speaker, it is an honor and a privilege to speak in support of the legislation I introduced to designate the post office located at 3118 Washington Boulevard in Arlington, Virginia, as the ``Joseph L. Fisher Post Office.'' Born in Rhode Island on January 11, 1914, the same year as my dad was born, the late Congressman Joseph L. Fisher was first elected as representative of the 10th District in 1974 as a Democrat and began his service in the 94th Congress. He served for three terms and was the second Member of Congress to represent Virginia's 10th Congressional District. As the current representative of the 10th District, I am honored to offer this legislation to highlight the public service career of Joe Fisher, which spanned over 50 years. Economist, educator, author, and congressman, Joe Fisher earned his undergraduate degree at Bowdoin College and went on to graduate studies at the London School of Economics, Harvard University, and The George Washington University.”
