Quote

I never believed that my service in the U.S. Congress should become a permanent career.

Though I'm a congresswoman by title, a politician I've never been.

I was never supposed to make it to Congress. I was a staff person.

I was never Vice Chair of the Troops Out Movement.

I was a very, very good congressman.

I never intended to be a politician or office-seeker.

I stayed in the Navy until July of 1946.

My grandpa was in the Navy, but it wasn't something that was expected or planned for me to do.

I grew up in a Navy family.
