Political Quotes

On the recordJuly 12, 2019
Lila Norstrom was a student, and she said no one told them anything, but just go back to school. Anesta Maria St. Rose Henry said she walks around missing her husband, along with her children. And so they are not just statistics; they are broken lives and families. And 3,000 more will die as we go further into this time, as 3,000 died on that date. And for those of us who were in this Congress on 9/11, we will never, never forget. To the young people today, be reminded of the heroes, firefighters, police officers, volunteers.

Madam Speaker, let us never forget, and let us vote.
