Political Quotes

“Madam Speaker, I rise today in recognition of one of Minocqua, Wisconsin's, very own, Kevin Bolger, who is headed to the 2022 Winter Olympics. He started skiing in the third grade after following in the footsteps of his older brother. By the way, this family has been a cornerstone of the community in Minocqua, Wisconsin, for over 100 years. It was clear from a young age that Kevin was a natural, and his interest in the sport continued to grow over the years. His journey to the Olympics isn't like most of his teammates. After graduating from high school, he opted out of going straight to college. Instead, Kevin moved to Idaho and joined the Sun Valley Ski Education Foundation where they had a program for kids taking a gap year. There he met and worked with his current ski coach for 2 years before applying to the University of Utah. He went to the University of Utah for 4 years, winning a national title his senior year. After 3 years on Team USA, he made his first Olympic cut earlier this year and will be headed to Beijing as a first-time Olympian. Congratulations, Kevin Bolger, and best of luck. ____________________”
