                      Wednesday, November 13, 2013

  Mr. BRADY of Pennsylvania. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the 
accomplishments of Ms. Sara Lomax-Reese. A graduate of the University 
of Pennsylvania and Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism, 
Ms. Lomax-Reese is the President and General Manager of WURD Radio LLC, 
Pennsylvania's only African-American owned talk radio station.
  Ms. Lomax-Reese is an accomplished journalist who has been widely 
published in The Miami Herald, The Philadelphia Inquirer, The Atlanta 
Journal-Constitution, Essence Magazine, American Visions Magazine, and 
Modern Maturity. Additionally, she co-founded HealthQuest: Total 
Wellness for Body, Mind, and Spirit, the first nationally circulated 
African-American consumer health magazine in the country. Due to her 
outstanding leadership abilities, the magazine quickly grew from a 
small 25,000 quarterly to a bi-monthly publication with a distribution 
of 500,000. She has received many awards for her dedication to her 
community, including the Woman of Substance Award, the Tree of Life 
award, the Beacon of Light award, the Woman of Distinction award, and 
most recently the PECO Power to the Community Award. Ms. Lomax-Reese 
stands committed to continuing her work of empowering the community and 
building a powerful voice for the African-American community at WURD 
radio.
  It is a privilege to recognize a person whose leadership and 
commitment to our city has enriched the lives of countless individuals. 
I ask you and my other distinguished colleagues to join me in 
commending Ms. Lomax-Reese for her lifetime of service and dedication 
to Pennsylvania's First Congressional District.
