  Mr. KUCINICH. Madam Speaker, I rise today in honor of Ron Brown, and 
in recognition of his work for social justice and dedication to the 
Parma Democratic Party. I, along with the Parma Democratic Party, 
recognize Ron as the Parma Democrat Volunteer of the Year.
  Ron has an immeasurable track record of community and public service 
in the local Democratic Party and for the city of Parma. He graduated 
from Valley Forge High School in Parma Heights in 1996 and continued 
his education at Cuyahoga Community College, where he earned a degree 
in business administration. His dedication to serving the residents of 
Parma is demonstrated by his 14 years of public service for the city of 
Parma. He currently works as a case manager for the Parma Public 
Housing Department and is always at the forefront of activism on behalf 
of the citizens of Parma.
  Ron earns the award of Parma Democrat Volunteer of the Year for his 
enthusiasm and commitment to the Parma Democratic Party. For years, Ron 
has worked diligently with the community on voter registration and has 
volunteered as a precinct chairman. A familiar face to many in the 
community, he has gone door-to-door, volunteered at polls and canvassed 
for all the democratic elected officials in Parma. Ron has been a 
tremendous volunteer and leader for the local Democratic Party.
  Madam Speaker and colleagues, please join me in honor of Ron Brown, 
and in recognition of his commitment to social justice and public 
service, as he is named this years Parma Democrat Volunteer of the 
Year.
