Yesterday I had the privilege to meet with our district’s winner, Robert Fetell, a student at Germantown Friends School. Robert was honored at the Capitol for his app, Chess Ratings. To have the ability to conceive and develop a software app at his young age is quite an achievement. I hope that Robert’s passion for technology and development spreads, and is an inspiration to other students as we continue to push science, engineering, and technology in our Philadelphia classrooms.

Tonight’s was not rooted in the past, it was forward-thinking, outlining the vision our President has had since his first day in office; a vision for one America that celebrates diversity, tolerance, and inclusiveness. Tonight President Obama delivered a message that should inspire hope and confidence in every American, in each city and town across our great nation.

I echo the President’s assertion that the United States is a country of possibilities—and pledge to continue my work ensuring that every individual in this nation has the resources necessary to reach their fullest potential. Our nation is stronger when we work together, and I am confident that President Obama will move full speed ahead in the next 11 months—and beyond—to infuse the last year of his term with the same sense of determination and commitment to the American people that has defined his Presidency. I am excited to work alongside him as we sustain our efforts to advance our nation and retain the United States’ leadership in the world. Read my full statement: http://prn.to/1SNDLcD
