Bernie Sanders said "I congratulate my friend and the senior Senator from Vermont, Patrick Leahy, for casting his 16,000th vote in the U.S. Senate. Since he was first elected in 1974, Senator Leahy has worked tirelessly for the people of Vermont, bringing to Washington, DC, Vermont values: a belief in justice, civic engagement, and the importance of community. Senator Leahy has long been a champion of human rights, a steward of the environment, and his efforts have brought important Federal resources to our State. I join with his wife Marcelle, his children and grandchildren, and Vermonters throughout our State in congratulating him on this milestone vote and thanking him for his 44 years of dedicated service. I look forward to continuing to work together to represent the people of Vermont. ___________________
