               HONORING THE LIFE OF CHARLES EVANS HUGHES

  (Ms. STEFANIK asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. STEFANIK. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor a remarkable man 
from my district who dedicated his life to serving our country.
  Charles Evans Hughes was born in Glens Falls, New York, where his 
first home still stands on Center Street. Mr. Hughes began his storied 
career in public service when he was elected Governor of New York in 
1906. He was later appointed to the Supreme Court by President William 
Howard Taft, where he served 6 years, before resigning in 1916 to run 
for President.
  While his run for President would be unsuccessful, Mr. Hughes 
continued his life of public service by serving as Secretary of State 
for Presidents Warren G. Harding and Calvin Coolidge. Later, Charles 
Evans Hughes was appointed Chief Justice of the Supreme Court by 
President Herbert Hoover.
  In Glens Falls, we are proud of his amazing legacy of public service, 
and we will gather on October 15 to celebrate the 100th anniversary of 
his run for President.
