                      HONORING MAYOR RAWLEY McCOY

  (Mr. CLOUD asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. CLOUD. Mr. Speaker, I rise today with a heavy heart to honor a 
servant-hearted leader who cared deeply for the Victoria, Texas, 
community, Mayor Rawley McCoy, who passed away on March 5, 2021.
  He will be greatly missed by his family, friends, and those he 
represented as mayor and those of us who had the honor to serve 
alongside him. A lifelong Victorian, he described our town as a 
wholesome community that provided an energetic and joyful childhood.
  Long before being elected mayor, he lived and worked to make our 
community a better place. He was inspired to become mayor and to make 
Victoria, as he said, the kind of place where future generations can 
live their American dream. I will miss working with him, as I 
appreciated his heart to work with and to collaborate in order to serve 
people.
  Mr. Speaker, Rawley once said, ``We can never become a great city 
until all of us can sit at and are welcome at the table.''
  My prayers are with him, his wife, their three children, and all who 
had the great pleasure of knowing Mayor Rawley McCoy.
