His many years of public service working at the Pentagon, his years as a college professor and his nearly two decades of service to his country have prepared him for his job. He didn't hesitate when asked to speak in response to the G.W. Bush radio address; an honor almost unheard of for a freshman congressman. He didn't forget his promise to always be accessible.
He didn't accept a pay raise, instead choosing to give it to charity. Congressman Carney didn't forget his priorities -- his lovely wife, Jennifer, their five great kids, his church, his country, his constituents or his old pickup truck. One of Congressman Carney's first challenges was to jump-start the Central Susquehanna Valley Thruway, a project that PennDOT has since deemed in hibernation. Rest assured our congressman didn't go into hibernation and his work will continue. On behalf of our servicemen and women, his work is unprecedented as is his proposal for a veterans outpatient clinic in our district. His personal trip to Iraq to support our troops and his honesty and integrity have earned him the respect and admiration of a large number of "Republicans for Carney."
Congressman Carney didn't hire undocumented workers. And he didn't change his residence to enhance his campaign. He said that he would make us proud, and we are as proud as we can be. His recent promotion to commander in the Navy Reserves makes us beyond proud. We now have a representative who truly does represent his constituents. One thing I can promise you is this, the first name of our next congressman will be Chris, but I also know, and this is not blarney, his full name will be Christopher P. Carney.
