  Mr. HIGGINS of New York. Mr. Speaker, today I am honored to recognize 
the life of Camille Brandon, a dedicated public servant and advocate 
for causes about which she cared deeply. Those of us who are fortunate 
enough to have worked with her will recall the kindness, the decency 
and the warmth that she brought to all of her governmental, political 
and civic efforts.
  Camille was the Deputy Erie County Clerk under elected clerks of both 
major parties, was a trusted advisor in the administration of

Erie County Executive Dennis Gorski and held important positions at the 
Buffalo City Court. She was the Vice President of the Pulaski 
Association, chaired the Youth Services and Citizens Police Advisory 
Boards in the Town of Cheektowaga, and sat on the board of the YWCA 
Institute for Public Leadership Planning. She was an American Heart 
Association board member and had been Grand Marshall of Buffalo's 
Pulaski Day Parade.
  Active in politics, she was a delegate to the Democratic National 
Convention in 1992, 1996, and 2012. She generously lent her time, her 
expertise, and her friendly and positive attitude to political efforts.
  We join our friend, Camille's dedicated husband, Bob Brandon, in 
mourning this tremendous loss. All of us who knew and worked with 
Camille will remember her with deep gratitude and affection. If more 
people in the realms of politics, government and civic affairs shared 
Camille's deep commitment to kindness, decency and mutual 
understanding, our nation would be far better off. May she continue to 
be an example to all of us.
