Sutton Delivers Powerful Address on House Floor

Sutton gives voice to fallen local Ohioans, draws high praise

Washington, D.C. - Congresswoman Betty Sutton delivered a powerful speech on the House Floor today that immediately drew high praise from several members of Congress, including Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D-MD).

Hoyer remarked, "Congresswoman Sutton's statement cuts right to the core of this week's House debate on Iraq. Her characterization of the debate as a matter of responsibility - to the American people and especially to our brave men and women in harm's way - could not ring more true."

The video and text of Rep. Sutton's full floor statement is available here.
