                   HONORING THE LIFE OF ROYANNE ORTIZ

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. PAUL A. GOSAR

                               of arizona

                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, March 11, 2021

  Mr. GOSAR. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor the life of a great 
Republican leader and public servant, Royanne Ortiz. As a resident of 
Bullhead City for 10 years, Royanne graciously and selflessly used her 
leadership skills to benefit Arizonans. Her bold leadership was 
reflected in her role as District Director for Mohave County Republican 
Central Committee since 2017 and through the many successful Lincoln 
Day Dinners she oversaw in District 2.
  Royanne was also well known for her fearless approach towards 
education policy issues. Her tenacity and passion for education reform 
even led her to running for the 2020 Mohave Community College Board. 
Her commitment to civic duty and her community was regularly reflected 
through her participation in meetings hosted by the Bullhead City 
Council, Colorado River Republican Women Club, and Colorado River Union 
High School District. I believe Royanne Ortiz is a great example of a 
Republican woman and her impact and involvement will not be forgotten 
by her community.
  Madam Speaker, I express my deepest condolences to the family of 
Royanne Ortiz on her passing, and I encourage my colleagues to join me 
in celebrating her life and legacy as a valuable civic servant to the 
people of Arizona.
