  Mr. DEUTCH. Madam Speaker, today, I rise to honor Larry Vignola for 
his 10 years of service to the City of Coral Springs, Florida, Larry 
moved to Coral Springs when he was 5 years old, where he received a 
public-school education, attending Coral Springs Elementary and Middle 
Schools, and Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School.
  After graduating from the University of Miami, Larry decided to give 
back to the community where he grew up and was first elected to serve 
as City Commissioner in 2010, Larry also acted as Coral Springs Vice 
Mayor for two years, and is Chair of several key committees, including 
the Youth and Family Committee, the Principal Education Committee and 
the Teen Political Forum, where I have been a regular guest speaker, 
and have seen Larry's commitment to our future leaders firsthand.
  As an alumni and City Commissioner Larry has always been there for 
the students, teachers and administrators of MSD before and after the 
tragedy in 2018. Through this dedication to public service, there is no 
doubt that Larry has made a significant positive impact on the Coral 
Springs community.
  As an avid sports fan, Larry has also devoted much of his life to 
coaching and mentoring young athletes, serving on the Coral Springs 
American Little League Board of Directors and chairing the Coral 
Springs Sports Coalition. He is a proud family man and enjoys spending 
his free time with his wife Aimee and their three children, Madison, 
Ava and Aimee.
  Madam Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in recognizing Larry 
Vignola and his service to Coral Springs and Florida's 22nd 
Congressional District.
