Political Quotes

“it seems like we have a lot of Texans leaving Congress, and one of those is Kenny Marchant. Kenny is a genuine statesman, quiet but serious and effective, and he has devoted almost his entire career to public service. He started out on the Carrolton City Council and then became mayor and then spent nine terms as a State representative, and, finally, eight terms in the U.S. House of Representatives. And he proudly represents North Texans and has for the last four decades. As a Member of the Ways and Means Committee, he has played an integral role in the effort to keep taxes down, including passage of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act in 2018, which was part of the spur of our great economic growth leading up to the pandemic. He has been a staunch supporter of efforts to reduce government waste and ensure that Congress is a responsible steward of taxpayer dollars. He has fought for our servicemembers, veterans, and for strong national defense. As the top Republican on the House Ethics Committee, Kenny helped to strengthen transparency and public confidence in our government, and there couldn't be a more important time for such a lofty goal. I know Kenny is eager to spend more time at home with his wife Donna, their kids, and a growing gaggle of grandkids. Most of their children are grown now, but the number of grandkids seems to be increasing in pace. I want to thank him for his incredible contributions to our State and wish him the best in the next chapter.…”
