I want to pay tribute also to her family, especially her good husband Mark, for this difficult and challenging year, for supporting her and for making sure that she had what she needed and that she is recovering. What a wonderful story they have together and will continue to have. And also, I want to pay tribute to Gabby Giffords’ wonderful staff. This has been a challenging year for them, and they have done everything possible to ensure that the people in the eighth district have received the representation that they deserve.
