                      HONORING ELIZABETH ANNE KEYS

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. GREG LANDSMAN

                                of ohio

                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, March 3, 2026

  Mr. LANDSMAN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in honor of Elizabeth Anne 
Keys, a Cincinnatian who dedicated her life to giving back. She 
graduated from Madeira High School as valedictorian and was, as her 
principal described her, a natural leader. She then attended Tufts 
University, where she joined the sailing team and spent the next four 
years creating lifelong memories with her teammates, including running 
the Boston Marathon.
  While at Tufts, Elizabeth earned the Tufts Synergy Award for 
collaborating with students from various backgrounds, a commitment she 
continued through her service on boards dedicated to preserving 
diversity, equity, and inclusion programs.
  After graduating with a law degree from Georgetown, Elizabeth 
dedicated time to pro bono work, including representing plaintiffs in a 
federal case challenging an Arizona law that limited abortion care, a 
cause she was deeply passionate about. In 2023, Elizabeth was honored 
for her pro bono service by the D.C. Court of Appeals' Capital Pro Bono 
Honor Roll.
  On January 29, 2025, her 33rd birthday, Elizabeth tragically died 
when an Army helicopter collided with American Airlines flight 5342 
over the Potomac River.
  We will remember Elizabeth for her dedication to improving the lives 
of those around her.
