                 HONORING THE LIFE OF JEAN E. CORRIGAN

  (Ms. DEAN of Pennsylvania asked and was given permission to address 
the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. DEAN of Pennsylvania. Madam Speaker, this month, my community, 
Montgomery County, Pennsylvania, lost a giant, Jean E. Corrigan.
  Whenever I hear the term ``grassroots'' or ``boots on the ground,'' I 
think of Jean. She believed wholeheartedly and full-throatily in 
Democratic values and devoted her life to them. It didn't matter if it 
was for the school board or the American President; Jean gave herself 
entirely to candidates who she believed in.
  She led by example, always willing to knock doors, make calls, and 
volunteer at polling places. She served on countless committees and was 
vice chair of her local party, the Abington-Rockledge Democratic 
Committee.
  Her front porch was an election season hub of lawn signs, literature, 
lists, and listening sessions on the latest intel. All the while, Jean 
was a devoted wife and mother.
  Her husband, Pete; children, Joe, Dave, and Pauline; and her 
beautiful granddaughters were lucky to have them in her corner. I was 
lucky to have Jean in my corner, too, and we were all lucky that the 
Corrigans shared Jean and her many talents with us.
  May God bless Jean Corrigan. She taught us well.
