James R. Walkinshaw Democrat
“I want to pass this bill to name a post office in Fairfax after Gerald Connolly. It honors his decades of public service to our community.”
“Mr. Speaker, I yield myself the balance of my time. Mr. Speaker, I thank the gentleman from Texas for his kind and eloquent words. I also thank Chairman Comer for his support of this legislation. As I said, Gerry Connolly is somebody who loved this body. He loved Fairfax County. He loved the Postal Service. This naming of the post office on Page Avenue in Fairfax will mean a lot to his family. Just as importantly, it will mean a lot to our community, which recognizes his decades of dedicated and passionate service with the integrity that he provided. Mr. Speaker, I yield back the balance of my time.”
