For the rest of my life, and as long I'm in public service, I will do my best to live up to the example of integrity and dedication that @SpeakerBusch set.— Delegate Eric Luedtke April 16, 2019 As @SpeakerBusch is laid to rest, I reflect on when we talked about the death of my son. He shared a tear & hug with me. And he let me present him with a Carter memory stone . I'll especially remember #IronMike for his humanity and kindness. Rest In Peace, Mr. Speaker. pic.twitter.
