3:23Now PlayingOn Tuesday, July 9th, 2013 Senator-Elect & Congressman Edward Markey bid farewell to his colleagues on the House Floor before he is sworn in as a United States Senator. He was elected to the United States Senate in the Massachusetts special election on June 25th, 2013.
"Thirty-seven years ago, I stepped off the plane in Washington, and it was my first visit in my life to Washington, D.C. I had never been here before, and I was sworn in as a Congressman on my first visit to this city 37 years ago.
"I am so proud to have been a Congressman here in this chamber along with all of you.
"For me, the House is democracy in action -- all of us declaring our love of country, and our desire for a better future for all of our constituents, and for our nation.
"I am honored to have served here.
"I am blessed to have made so many wonderful friends here.
"And I am humbled by the dedication of all of you to this great nation. As I have represented Massachusetts, so, too, have each of you represented your states with your conscience.
"I now go to serve in the Senate. But there is a big part of me that will always be a man of the House after 37 years, having served here in this great body.
"And with that, I say for the last time, Madam Speaker, I yield back the balance of my time.
"Thank you all so much."
