Congressman Richard Hudson, who represents Congressman Mike McIntyre’s home town of Lumberton North Carolina, spoke on the floor of the House of Representatives in anticipation of Congressman McIntyre’s pending retirement and in honor of his long legacy of service to the state and to the people of his district. Congressman Hudson’s full remarks are printed below.
“Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor my good friend and colleague, Congressman Mike McIntyre.
Mike and I are blessed to represent the Southeastern region of North Carolina and some of the most hard-working, genuine and thoughtful people you’ll ever meet. Mike has his priorities in order, Mr. Speaker – he’s dedicated his life to God, to his family and to serving his constituents – and he’s done so with unparalleled honor and integrity.
In Congress, he’s been a voice for commonsense, and he’s never been afraid to reach across the aisle to get things done for our local communities. During his years of service on the House Agriculture and the House Armed Services Committees, Mike has time and again stood up for issues folks care about back in North Carolina.
I’m honored that I inherited Robeson County from Mike – a place my family has called home for generations – and I’m thrilled to call Mike and his amazing wife, Dee, my constituents. I can tell you first-hand that Mike is respected across Southeastern North Carolina because he has a sincere passion for the people he represents and serves.
I thank Mike McIntyre for his leadership to North Carolina over the years. It’s been a privilege to get to know Mike, to call him a friend and to work with him to make life better for the folks in North Carolina.
Mr. Speaker, I hope the House will join me in wishing Mike and Dee well in their future endeavors. We’re going to miss you around here, Mike.
Thank you, Mr. Speaker, I yield back.”
