  Mr. TOWNS. Mr. Speaker, it is indeed my pleasure to recognize the 
hard work and patience of John Sampson. John is a product of the New 
York Public School System. He later attended Brooklyn College where he 
graduated with a degree in political science. John became fascinated by 
the legal profession and decided to attend law school.
  In 1988 John enrolled at Albany Law School and graduated in 1991. He 
went to work for the Legal Aid Society and subsequently became employed 
with the Brooklyn law firm of Alter & Barbaro, Esqs, specializing in 
housing, criminal, and contract law.
  Always active in local community affairs, John participates in 
political campaigns and represents candidates in election law matters 
before the Supreme Court. Mr. Sampson is also a member of the Rosetta 
Gaston Democratic Club. John is devoted to his family and he and his 
wife Crystal are the proud parents of a baby girl, Kyra Chanel Sampson.
