“Thank you to my new colleagues and thank you to the people of Virginia's Seventh District who have entrusted me with the honor of serving as their Representative, and many of them are with us tonight in the gallery. Thank you for coming. We are proud that the Seventh District is the home of the father of the Constitution, James Madison, and the voice of the Revolution, Patrick Henry. It has been a long road, and very few gave me a chance when the journey began. I want to thank my wife, Laura, and my children, Jonathan and Sophia, for believing in me. And I want to thank God, as this would not have been possible without His assistance along the way. Throughout my campaign, as President Reagan said, I tried to appeal to people's best hopes and not their worst fears.

That is how I will approach the weighty responsibility with which I have been entrusted. Thank you all, God bless you all, and may God continue to bless this great Nation. ____________________”
