      CONGRATULATING PASTOR WARREN STEWART, SR., ON HIS RETIREMENT

  (Ms. ANSARI asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. ANSARI. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the remarkable legacy 
of Pastor Warren Stewart, Sr., of Phoenix, Arizona.
  At First Institutional Baptist Church, Pastor Stewart has been a 
beacon of hope, faith, and justice in our district for decades. His 
tireless work has gone beyond his pastoral role. He has always been a 
leader for social change in our community.
  In fact, his efforts were key to securing Arizona's recognition of 
Martin Luther King Jr. Day long after many other States had added the 
holiday to their calendars.
  As he steps into retirement, we are deeply grateful for his 
leadership. I thank Pastor Stewart for his decades of service to our 
community. His legacy is one of love, inclusivity, and hope.
  I wish Pastor Stewart the very best in this next chapter.
