                   HONORING THE LIFE OF BRIGID KELLY

  (Mr. WENSTRUP asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. WENSTRUP. Mr. Speaker, it is with a heavy heart that I rise today 
to honor the life of former Hamilton County Auditor Brigid Kelly who 
lost her battle with cancer on March 26, 2024.
  Brigid lived an incredible life of service. She was a true public 
servant who focused on improving the lives of Ohio families. She worked 
to bridge the partisan divides and make a difference for our citizens, 
first as a Norwood city councilwoman, then as a State representative, 
and most recently as Hamilton County auditor.
  While serving as representative, Brigid dedicated herself to easing 
the burdens that young families face. In every role she served, she did 
that. Brigid gave of herself to put constituents first, champion their 
needs, and attempt to ensure their lives could be made better. Her 
well-earned reputation of sincere civility was known and respected by 
all.
  My prayers go out to all who knew and loved Brigid. The Cincinnati 
community, the State of Ohio, and our Nation mourn with her family and 
friends. May Brigid's memory continue to inspire us and future 
generations to serve our community with the same spirit of selfless 
service.
