                HONORING CONGRESSWOMAN CAROLYN McCARTHY

                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. BETTY McCOLLUM

                              of minnesota

                    in the house of representatives

                      Thursday, December 11, 2014

  Ms. McCOLLUM. Mr. Speaker, today I rise to pay tribute to the career 
of my good friend, Congresswoman Carolyn McCarthy.
  I had the privilege of serving alongside Carolyn on the Committee on 
Education and the Workforce, where we began developing a close, 
personal friendship.
  Congresswoman McCarthy's courage and leadership on the issue of gun 
violence has been a hallmark of her time in the House. Arising from 
tragic circumstances, Carolyn's passionate commitment to preventing gun 
violence has inspired others and made a real difference. The power of 
her voice on this critical issue will be greatly missed in the next 
Congress.
  Mr. Speaker, I honor the distinguished career of my dear friend, 
Carolyn McCarthy.
