Elizabeth Ann Warren

“ For twenty years, Mayor Menino has made Boston into a city that all eyes can see is a model for the country and for the world. And he has succeeded because he knew all along that our fortunes depend on our work together – as one people, as one community, as one Boston. ”

“ President, I rise today to honor one of the great leaders in the history of Boston. It might seem odd to describe a man who is still with us today – alive and well – as a figure in history. But in the almost 400 years since Boston was founded, a history that is filled with names known across this country – Winthrop, Adams, Lowell, Lodge – in this 400 year history, few have done more for Boston than our Mayor, Tom Menino. ”
