                        Tuesday, August 19, 2025

  Mr. LIEU. Mr. Speaker, I rise to honor the remarkable life and legacy 
of my friend Marc Saltzberg. He passed away peacefully on June 27, 
2025, surrounded by his loving family following a prolonged battle with 
cancer.
  After his retirement from a successful career in information 
technology, Marc dedicated himself to political activism. He became an 
integral member of local advocacy organizations, tirelessly supporting 
causes that he was passionate about. More than just a supporter, Marc 
sought to create spaces for open and thoughtful civil and political 
discourse within his community, fostering engagement at the grassroot 
level in ways that uplifted those around him.
  Born in Chicago, Marc's journey took him to Carleton College, where 
he met his beloved wife, Nancy. Their shared passion for travel led 
them to countless adventures as a couple. In their youth, they hiked in 
Nepal, explored Turkey, and cycled in France. In later years, they 
returned to Turkey with their three children, Jenny, Alex, and Maria, 
as a testament to their lifelong sense of wonder and curiosity.
  Marc's contributions to his community and to the causes he held dear 
are a true testament to his character. His commitment to the betterment 
of society was unwavering, and he and his family were committed to 
supporting organizations serving communities in need and environmental 
causes. Some of these organizations included Planned Parenthood, the 
American Civil Liberties Union, Doctors Without Borders, the Monterey 
Bay Aquarium and many more. These causes reflected Marc's enduring 
belief in justice, compassion, and a better future for all.
  Marc is survived by his wife Nancy, his children Jenny, Alex, and 
Maria, and his grandchildren. May his contributions to serving people 
in need live on through the people and organizations that he touched 
throughout his life.
  Marc was a proud father, grandfather, and dedicated activist. His 
legacy of service and engagement will continue to inspire and guide 
many after him. May his memory be a blessing to all who knew him.
