Political Quotes

“I rise today to thank and honor our colleague and ranking member of the Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation, Senator Bill Nelson. As has been mentioned by some of our colleagues, Bill Nelson has served the people of Florida and our Nation with distinction in a career spanning more than four decades. I have been honored to have Bill Nelson as a colleague from my first day in the Senate and for the last 4 years as a partner in an especially successful working relationship on the Commerce Committee. Over this time, we fostered a can-do spirit with committee colleagues and drove nearly 100 committee legislative accomplishments. Together, we worked on policy for our Nation's future in technology, aviation, ocean management, surface transportation, scientific research, space, and many other areas. Senator Nelson exhibited an especially extraordinary passion for prioritizing safety, the future of manned spaceflight, and an unshakeable belief that powerful companies should be held to account when consumers aren't treated fairly.

We are both passionate about serving the people of our respective States.…”
