Political Quotes

“Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to a good friend, Justin Hunter, who left us way too soon on September 16 of this year, 2023. Originally from the bootheel of Missouri, just north of my district in west Tennessee, Justin Hunter had a big impact in west Tennessee. He served our community many years ago by working for former Congressman Ed Bryant. It was in west Tennessee that Justin met his wife, Caroline. Together, they attended law school at the University of Memphis. Later, while working for Encompass Health, Justin put his experience to work to help improve access to rehabilitation hospital care. Justin Hunter was a really strong and passionate advocate for rehabilitation hospitals. Justin used his understanding of the laws governing Medicare programs to help improve the quality of healthcare available to Americans across our Nation. I know I just used the word ``passion,'' but Justin was very passionate about everything he did and believed in. If he was in, he was in 100 percent on everything. Justin Hunter will be remembered not only for his dedication to healthcare and to the law but also as an avid hunter and barbecue master and for his tremendous devotion to his family. For both Roberta and me, our thoughts are with Justin's wife, Caroline, and with their two daughters, Helena and Vivian. Justin is truly and sorely missed by so many, and I will always have good and fond memories of our friendship together. ____________________”
