           HONORING THE LIFE AND LEGACY OF MICHAEL N. MOSTEIT

  (Ms. GARCIA of Texas asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. GARCIA of Texas. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the life and 
legacy of Michael N. Mosteit.
  Mike was a trailblazer in the labor movement, a dedicated public 
servant, and a loving family man.
  As a member of IBEW Local 66 for over 50 years, he strived to ensure 
our workers had fair representation and proper wages.
  I had the honor of standing shoulder to shoulder with Mike many 
times--defending workers, organizing, walking the picket line, winning, 
and sometimes trying and trying again.
  The work was never about the money. It was about fighting for the 
quality of life and transformational difference a good job can do for a 
family.
  That is what leadership is: wanting something better for others than 
you have for yourself. That was Mike Mosteit.
  Our hearts go out to his loving wife, Carol, a wonderful educator in 
her own right, and their son, Joshua.
  Rest in peace, Mike. We will keep up the fight until we meet again on 
another picket line. God bless.
