Donald McEachin", "role": "speaking"}] | 163 Cong. Rec. H452 | Congressional Record, Volume 163 Issue 8 (Thursday, January 12, 2017) [Congressional Record Volume 163, Number 8 (Thursday, January 12, 2017)] [House] [Page H452] From the Congressional Record Online through the Government Publishing Office [www.gpo.gov] IN MEMORY OF THE LIFE AND LEGACY OF LENO BRADBY (Mr. McKEACHIN asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 minute.) Mr. McEACHIN. Mr. Speaker, I trespass on the time of the House today to honor the life and legacy of Mr. Leno Bradby. Mr. Bradby was a true leader of our community--a community in the Fourth Congressional District, known as Charles City County. He was an active member of his NAACP chapter, of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, as well as being a member of the Charles City County Democratic Committee. Mr. Bradby dedicated his time to helping folks vote by supporting voter registration and voter education efforts in our district. He regularly volunteered at the polling locations and provided community members with transportation to cast their ballots. I know that his presence was greatly missed in a special election that was held within our district yesterday. It is sad to see a devout and active member of our community leave us, but his legacy will live on with his fellow community members. This is a great loss to Charles City County. ____________________ |
