Senator Bishop’s statement is as follows:

It is my great honor to pay tribute to one of our team members who has decided to move on to bigger and better things. Today, I would like to express our thanks and deep appreciation to Deborah Cline as she decides to move onto greener pastures out of the Senate. She spent the last 15 years here with us on our team. She began in the Senate back in 1995 in the Senate Majority Policy Office. From 1996 to 2003, Deborah worked for Senate Majority Leader Dan DeGrow.
