RECOGNIZING XAVIER WORTHAM
(Mr. DAVIS of North Carolina asked and was given permission to
address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
Mr. DAVIS of North Carolina. Mr. Speaker, I rise to recognize the
extraordinary Oxford community and one of its most outstanding leaders,
Mr. Xavier Wortham.
I had the honor of spending a day in Oxford, engaging with local
nonprofits, educators, clergy, elected officials, and residents. We
also visited the Masonic Home for Children and held a listening
session.
Among the many remarkable people we met, Mr. Wortham's impact stands
out. For 40 years, he has served as executive director of the Oxford
Housing Authority, providing families with crucial education, job
training, and opportunities like college tours at Duke University.

Mr. Wortham's tireless commitment and love for those he serves in the
community is indeed a beacon of hope. He embodies what makes Oxford and
the First Congressional District exceptional.
Mr. Speaker, I thank Mr. Wortham for his example and unwavering
dedication and passion.
