                HONORING COMMISSIONER JAMEZETTA BEDFORD

  (Mrs. FOUSHEE asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Mrs. FOUSHEE. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the life and service 
of Orange County Commissioner Jamezetta Bedford, a devoted public 
servant whose leadership and compassion left an enduring mark on the 
community she loved.
  For more than two decades, Commissioner Bedford served Orange County 
with integrity and purpose. She believed people deserve better, and she 
worked tirelessly to strengthen public education, expand opportunity, 
and ensure every family had a voice in local government.
  She was a steadfast advocate for people with autism and developmental 
disabilities, helping families navigate complex systems and secure the 
support that they needed.
  I will remember Jamezetta as a trusted colleague and dear friend who 
led with kindness and never lost sight of the people she served.
  I offer my heartfelt condolences to her family, her loved ones, and 
the entire Orange County community. She will be deeply missed, but her 
example of selfless service will not be forgotten.
