TRANSCRIPT:
Madam Speaker,
The New Orleans Saints are having an historic season. Their success has benefitted our city tremendously, and with their first playoff game kicking off this Saturday, I wanted to take the time to give constituents a chance to honor them.
Today’s statement is from Jewelyn Wellborn. Jewelyn writes:
“The reason we are proud of the Saints, the reason we rally behind them, has less to do with the scoreboard and more to do with the heart, soul, and fire of this city.
“Your average New Orleanian is characterized by different concepts that seem so opposite of one another.
“There are those who have always called New Orleans home and some who came for only a few years and fell in love.
“Watching the Saints helps us escape from rebuilding yet reminds us of why we came home.
“The Saints are an exact reflection of us. Our city. Our home. And, that’s why the Saints are my home team.
