Political Quotes

On the recordJuly 22, 2015
I thank the Congresswoman from the 30th District, Ms. Eddie Bernice Johnson, for her very kind words about Speaker Wright. He was very fond of you and appreciated your leadership in an area that he excelled in, which was transportation. I just want to thank you for your kind words. Now, I would like to recognize from Houston, Texas, the distinguished gentlewoman, Sheila Jackson Lee, who would also like to have a few words about Speaker Jim Wright. So many Texans that served with Jim Wright and those who didn't have the opportunity to serve with him really appreciated his style and everything that he stood for. He was such a statesman. You can tell how his influence was felt because so many individuals like Sheila, so many other people that knew the Speaker reached out to me after his death and wanted to send condolences to his friends and his family, and she was just thankful that he was so influential in Sheila Jackson Lee's life as well. Mr. Speaker, I yield to the gentlewoman from Houston, Texas (Ms. Jackson Lee).
