Political Quotes

“Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor a distinguished Texan, Gerald Sullivan, who has been selected as the 2024 Buck N' Ball honoree. Gerald's story is nothing but a pure Lone Star legend, showcasing grit, guts, and a whole lot of Texas-sized success. From Galveston County to the halls of Texas A&M, Gerald's entrepreneurial spirit has left an indelible mark. As chairman of the Port of Galveston, he steered us through Hurricane Ike's wrath, ensuring our ports and Galveston's resilience. His dedication to education and sharing insights with students reflects his commitment to the next generation, not to mention the Sullivan family's century-long legacy in the beef cattle industry, grazing cattle in salt grass pastures along the Coastal Bend and then shipping them from the Port of Galveston to Caribbean nations like Haiti and Cuba. I congratulate Gerald and Susanne, his lovely bride, on Gerald receiving the Buck' N Ball award from the Bryan Museum in Galveston, where they are preserving Texas history. Gerald's commitment and dedication are inspiring to southeast Texas, and I am glad and proud to call him a friend. ____________________”
