Quotes

• It gives you a bit of a heart twist to walk right up to the courthouse and put your name opposite that of a man – not whom you’re going to marry – but opposite the name of a man who's your friend – and who want the same job you could fill.
• It’s education primarily that takes me to Olympia ... I find such a woeful lack of people who can and will speak for the schools. Too many sincere people just don’t know what they're talking about ... just don't understand the problems.
