                     HONORING MICHAEL SCHWEINSBURG

  (Mr. GOLDMAN of New York) asked and was given permission to address 
the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. GOLDMAN of New York. Disability Pride Month, commemorated in 
July, is a time to highlight the history, achievements, experiences, 
and struggles that the disability community has experienced.
  From battling for greater public accessibility to ensuring government 
officials recognize the specific needs of the community, disability 
advocates have often had to fight to obtain the representation they 
deserve.
  One of these great advocates is Mike Schweinsburg who has worked 
toward better and greater representation and inclusion in my district, 
New York-10 in New York City, for nearly two decades.
  Mike has advised mayors, agencies, elected officials, national 
politicians, and everyone in between on the disability community's 
pressing needs, working to ensure that New Yorkers with disabilities 
are never left without a voice.
  For two decades, Mike has been an integral part of the 504 Democratic 
Club, the Nation's first and largest club advocating for the civil 
rights of people with disabilities.
  I am truly honored and blessed to work alongside him to ensure that 
everyone in New York City and our country gets the proper 
representation they deserve.
