On the recordNovember 14, 2019
Mr. Speaker, today I rise to recognize soon-to-be former--he is about to retire from the Mississippi House of Representatives--Representative Steve Holland. Steve has served in the House of Representatives in the Mississippi legislature for 36 years. He was also a desk mate, I think, of former Speaker McCoy, and they were good friends. Steve has represented the 16th District of Mississippi proudly, as he has represented all of the people of his district. He is a true Mississippian who prioritized legislation that would create a brighter future for Mississippi. And, if you have never met Steve Holland, he is a character who is not large enough for this body to contain. What a gentleman. Always for the State of Mississippi and a true Mississippian at heart, but always with a quip and quick humor. He was always willing to never take himself too seriously, although all the matters that he achieved were very serious. Steve Holland is an icon in Mississippi politics. I look forward to working with Steve in his retirement and thank him for his service. Impeachment Process
