Palmer Remembers Phyllis Schlafly

Washington, DC - Congressman Gary Palmer (R-AL) released the following statement regarding Phyllis Schlafly:

"Yesterday, America lost a conservative leader and an icon," said Palmer. "Phyllis Schlafly was a leader who had an enormous impact on America. I first met Phyllis around 1990 shortly after I began work with the Alabama Family Alliance, which later became the Alabama Policy Institute. I was tremendously impressed by her intellect and her communication skills. She was respected among her peers, even among those who disagreed with her. Ann and my thoughts and prayers are with her family as we mourn her passing and remember her life and accomplishments. Phyllis Schlafly was an incredible woman and truly one of the most influential Americans of the last century."
