Next Tuesday President Obama delivers his State of the Union address. Offering the GOP response this year will be my friend and colleague, Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers. Take a moment to meet Cathy by watching this great video about her life. As the Chairwoman of the House Republican Conference, Cathy is an inspiring leader. But, as you can see in the video, shes also very much a real, normal person. Like me, she balances duties in Congress with being a wife and mom. Actually, when Riley and I were considering whether I should run for Congress and weighing the decisions impact on our family, it was Cathy who convinced me by saying, you can do this! The morning routine shown in the video has to make any parent laugh because we can all relate. I know that parents of special needs children in particular can identify with Cathy as well. Americans need to see that realness in leaders, maybe now more than ever. Im grateful for Cathys friendship, thankful for her leadership in the House, and eager to listen to her articulate a conservative message to Americans in response to President Obama.
