                            of pennsylvania

                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, July 18, 2007

  Mr. BRADY of Pennsylvania. Madam Speaker, I rise to honor my dear 
friend and City Councilwoman, the Honorable Carol Ann Campbell. Just 
like the distinguished Speaker of the United States House of 
Representatives, Carol Ann is the scion of a great political family. 
Her early years at the side of her father, the famous Edgar Campbell, 
prepared her well for her future leadership role. But it is her inner 
strength that plays the biggest part in making her who she is.
  Everyone who knows Carol Campbell knows that she is a force of 
nature. Her drive and tenacity are matched only by her compassion and 
her loyalty. She has devoted her life to helping others. Her dedication 
to her neighbors led to tremendous public investment in her district 
during her time in City Council. Her advocacy on behalf of the African 
American community led to election of record numbers of judges and 
other officials. She has been the confidant of speakers, mayors, and 
governors and of presidents. And I am proud to say that she is my 
advisor, my strongest supporter and my best friend.
  Madam Speaker, there aren't enough hours in the day to list the 
accomplishments of this great lady. But, I am proud to ask all of my 
colleagues to join me in saluting her today.

                          ____________________
