Political Quotes

“Mr. President, I greatly appreciate having this opportunity to join my colleagues in expressing our congratulations to Barbara Mikulski as she reaches another great milestone in her career of service to the people of Maryland in the United States Congress. Senator Mikulski is now the longest serving woman in the history of the United States Congress. Although outstanding in and of itself, it is an achievement that represents far more than the number of years she has served in the nation's Capitol. It is also a testament to her outstanding public service and her commitment to our future that has made it possible for her to help to make our great Nation both stronger and more secure. Back home, Senator Mikulski's constituents have come to appreciate her more and more as they have seen how hard she works to represent them every day. That is why they always come out in such great numbers every election day to make sure she will continue to do so. They can see the difference she has made all around them and they appreciate the way she has made their cities and towns better places to live. I have often heard Senator Mikulski referred to as the Dean of the Senate women, a title she has earned that was conferred upon her with the great admiration, affection and appreciation of those with whom she has served. Over the years so many of them have acknowledged the difference she has made in their lives with her support, her encouragement, her guidance and her direction.…”
