        PAYING TRIBUTE TO A REMARKABLE LEADER, MAYOR BILL GRAHAM

  (Mrs. HOUCHIN asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Mrs. HOUCHIN. Madam Speaker, I rise today with a heavy heart to pay 
tribute to a remarkable leader of the Scottsburg community, former 
Mayor Bill Graham. Just a few weeks ago, my hometown suffered a great 
loss with his passing.
  Mayor Graham was not just a public servant. He was the heart and soul 
of our small town. His unwavering dedication to Scottsburg and its 
residents was evident in every decision he made and action he took.
  Whether it was working tirelessly to attract new businesses, 
advocating for improved infrastructure, or simply lending a 
compassionate ear to those in need, Mayor Graham embodied the true 
spirit of service. His legacy of kindness, integrity, and selflessness 
will continue to inspire us all.
  As we mourn the loss of Mayor Graham, let us also celebrate the 
extraordinary life he lived and the profound impact he had on our 
beloved Scottsburg.
  My thoughts and prayers are with his family, friends, and the entire 
community during this difficult time.
