Political Quotes

“Louie Gohmert is just as popular among my constituents in Virginia as he is among my esteemed colleagues' constituents from Texas. Louie was one of the first Members of Congress to come and support me in my district when I started this journey 3 years ago. He literally drove through the night to come down to Virginia to help a fledgling, aspiring Congressman down in the Fifth Congressional District of Virginia. Louie since I have gotten here has been an example of courage. As a freshman, I quickly observed him being willing to go to the microphone time and again, not only to challenge the other side but even to challenge our side when he felt they were wrong or weren't living up to the ideals that we promised to live up to for our constituents. I have admired him for his character and testimony on a personal level, his love for our Lord, his love for our Savior, Jesus Christ. Louie Gohmert is one of those people you meet here in Congress who is the same here in person as he is on TV when folks watch him. I am proud to learn from and serve with this true courageous, conservative warrior. I am proud to call Louie a friend on a personal level. He will be missed. Even in his leaving this Congress, he is leaving in a courageous, selfless act, because he could have stayed here as long as he wanted to, to represent his district. But he loves his beloved State of Texas, and in a tremendous act of courage he took personal risk in leaving this body.…”
