                                 ______
                                 

                         HON. ALCEE L. HASTINGS

                               of florida

                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, July 19, 2017

  Mr. HASTINGS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the life and legacy 
of Mrs. Lori Ann Glasser, whom we sadly lost on July 18, 2017. Lori was 
a constituent and friend of mine, and I will miss her dearly. My 
thoughts and prayers are with her family and friends in this 
undoubtedly difficult time.
  Lori contributed greatly to the growth of Democratic politics in 
Florida, specifically in Broward County. She was the president of the 
Sunrise Regular Democratic Club, and the past president of the Council 
of Democratic Club Presidents for Broward County. She held that 
position for 5 years, becoming the longest serving president in that 
organization's history. She was also the past president of the Gold 
Coast Women's Democratic Club of Broward County, and the Broward 
Democratic Party Area Leader for Sunrise, Plantation, North Lauderdale, 
and Tamarac.
  She was an elected Florida Delegate representing the 20th and 23rd 
Congressional Districts at every Democratic National Convention from 
1992 to 2008, and proudly served on numerous boards and committees both 
political and civil.
  Lori's contributions to our community will be remembered for years to 
come. She is survived by her husband, Craig Glasser of Sunrise, 
Florida, and her son. May their faith bring comfort to them in their 
time of grief, and know that Lori's spirit and loving memory will 
always live on.
