                         HONORING PEGGY STAMEY

  (Ms. ROSS asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. ROSS. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor the exceptional life 
of North Carolina's Peggy Stamey who recently passed.
  A trailblazer for women, Peggy shattered glass ceilings as the first 
woman who was elected chairperson of the Wake County Democratic Party.
  Elected to the North Carolina House in 1982, Peggy sponsored a number 
of bills that helped make North Carolina a better place for all people.
  Peggy's unparalleled commitment to progress and equality went far 
beyond her legislative accomplishments. During her final chapter of 
service to our State, Peggy was appointed to the parole commission 
where her service reflected her strong belief in second chances.
  Madam Speaker, today we mourn the loss of Peggy Stamey and celebrate 
the indelible mark she left on our State.
  Peggy's enduring legacy lives on through the barriers she broke and 
through the many lives she transformed.
