                   A TRIBUTE TO WALTER T. MOSLEY III

                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. EDOLPHUS TOWNS-

                              of new york

                    in the house of representatives

                       Monday, November 15, 2010

  Mr. TOWNS. Madam Speaker, I rise today in recognition of Walter T. 
Mosley III.
  Walter T. Mosley III was born and raised in the Clinton Hill and 
Crown Heights sections of Brooklyn.
  After he graduated from high school, Mr. Mosley attended Pennsylvania 
State University. He graduated with honors, earning a degree in 
Criminology with minors in African Studies and American History. He 
received a law degree from Howard University in 1998.
  Mr. Mosley was exposed to community activism and public service at an 
early age, which had a great effect on his sense of responsibility and 
ownership of his community. Throughout his life, he has worked to serve 
the downtown and central Brooklyn community. He has served as an 
advisor to elected officials on political, legislative, and public 
policy issues related to local and statewide initiatives. Through this 
work, he has had the opportunity to work in various capacities, 
including: legislative analyst for the New York City Council, Chief of 
Staff to New York State Assemblyman William F. Boyland, Jr., and 
currently as Special Counsel to New York State Majority Conference 
Leader John L. Sampson.
  Mr. Mosley also learned early the importance of developing a broad 
range of experience in government and politics so that he would be able 
to give back to his community. He had the opportunity to work on the 
national political scene in 2004 through work for Senator John Kerry's 
presidential campaign. He continued this work in 2008 as a Pledged 
Delegate for Senator Barack Obama.
  Madam Speaker, I urge my colleagues to join me in recognizing the 
many contributions of Walter T. Mosley III.
