                   HONORING THE LIFE OF RENNY CUSHING

  (Mr. PAPPAS asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. PAPPAS. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor the life and legacy 
of a true New Hampshire original, a dedicated public servant, and a 
passionate advocate for the causes that he held dear.
  Renny Cushing, the Democratic leader of the New Hampshire House of 
Representatives, passed away on Monday after a courageous battle with 
cancer.
  I served with Renny in the State House and I saw firsthand his 
compassion, empathy, and good faith that he brought to every issue and 
every debate. He was guided by a strong moral compass and a sense of 
liberty and justice, right and wrong.
  His loss leaves a hole in New Hampshire that can never be filled, and 
we should all take inspiration from the legacy that he leaves behind. 
We will miss our friend. New Hampshire will miss the tireless spirit of 
a man who spent his life in the arena striving to make people's lives 
better and striving to make hope and history rhyme.
  My thoughts are with his family, his three daughters, and all who 
knew him and were touched by his example.
