On the recordMay 19, 2021
Mr. Speaker, on this somber occasion, we rise to honor the late Buddy Roemer. He was born in Shreveport, Louisiana, in 1943. He was a Harvard- educated reformer with big ideas. He represented Louisiana's Fourth Congressional District here in the House from 1981 to 1988. He served as the 52nd Governor of Louisiana, and he was a former candidate for President of the United States. He passed away at the age of 77 on May 17, 2021. Please join us in a moment of silence in honor of his public service and his important contributions to Louisiana and our Nation. ____________________
