There's no one like him.

Hoping Congressman Lewis will get so much goodness and help coming to him now from every direction. He has earned far, far more than that long ago.

You wouldn't even want to put the name "politician" on someone who has given so much of his life, starting so long before he ever considered running for office. Endured much, with so much dignity. Don't know how he has done it.
