                      Wednesday, January 14, 2026

  Mr. GOLDMAN of Texas. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Mr. Abraham 
Alexander for receiving the Stephen Bruton Award.
  Mr. Alexander grew up and began his career in Fort Worth. In 
remarkable fashion, his music career has soared, earning him national 
recognition and numerous accolades. The Stephen Bruton Award recognizes 
Mr. Alexander for his contribution to the film industry through his 
song ``Like a Bird'' in the film Sing Sing. As filmmaker and fellow 
Fort Worth native Taylor Sheridan described, Mr. Alexander is a 
``dreamer who is living that dream.''
  For eighteen years, the Lone Star Film Festival has brought together 
filmmakers, producers, and musicians from across the media and 
entertainment industry for its prestigious award show. With the 
reception of the Stephen Bruton Award, Mr. Alexander joins the ranks of 
celebrated musicians such as Willie Nelson, Clint Black, and Pat Green.
  On behalf of Texas' 12th Congressional District, I am honored to 
recognize Mr. Alexander's outstanding achievement in music. His success 
is an inspiration to the City of Fort Worth and our community. I extend 
my heartfelt congratulations to Mr. Alexander and look forward to 
seeing what he creates next.
