                     REMEMBERING ALPHONSO MAYFIELD

  (Mr. FROST asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. FROST. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the life of SEIU-FPSU 
President Alphonso Mayfield, a beloved labor leader and tireless 
champion across the State of Florida and across the South.
  Alphonso was a young, Black labor leader from the South who 
understood the struggles of working-class families and dedicated his 
life to advancing economic and social justice.
  For more than 25 years with the SEIU, including serving as president 
since 2010, he fought tirelessly for union members, securing important 
victories and inspiring countless workers to stand together in 
solidarity. He understood that the true power of our communities rests 
in the hands of working people united with a common purpose.
  Alphonso led with love and an unwavering commitment that rests in the 
hands of working people.
  As we mourn his loss, we must also honor his legacy by continuing the 
work that he dedicated his life to.
  My deep condolences to his family and all touched by his leadership.
  May his memory continue to be a blessing, and may his vision continue 
to guide us forward.
