Political Quotes

“Mr. Speaker, it is a great honor tonight to be here with Congressman Clyburn on a very extraordinary evening. To me, it is a dream come true. Eleven days ago, I had the opportunity--my wife, Roxanne, and I--to campaign across the Fifth Congressional District by bus. As we traveled the district with Ralph and Elaine Norman, I found out that his business background gives him the basis to understand how to create jobs. I saw his affection for our veterans and his understanding of the importance of a strong national defense. In particular, with Shaw Air Force Base in the district, he understands a strong national defense. It was so inspiring, also, to be with their four grown children who are each successful. And he has a real interest to be successful because he has 15 grandchildren. What an achievement. Members understand this is really important. For the past 7 years, I am really grateful that he has been a floor leader for Governor Nikki Haley, now our Ambassador to the United Nations, where he has been a floor leader for limited government and expanded freedom. It is with great honor I introduce to you Congressman Ralph Norman.”
