I am honored to be with you today, and I am blessed to have with me my partner of 37 years, a wonderful mother for our daughter, Anna, and someone who has given her very best to the people of this state, helping kids stay Smart and Sober, building Habitat houses, and leading volunteers on Make a Difference Day – First Lady Hope Taft. Today I pay special tribute to the men and women in our armed forces protecting our nation. Many of you have family members that have answered that call. Rep.

Please join me in saluting all of our troops and their families for their sacrifice in defending freedom around the world. Let’s also thank the members of the finest cabinet anywhere in America. They’re doing a terrific job in tough circumstances – please stand and be recognized! From prescription drugs to the budget to the do-not-call bill, we’ve accomplished much together in the last year. I give full credit to the Speaker of the House, Larry Householder; the President of the Senate, Doug White; and, to all of you.
