Mr. Speaker, Thanks · 163 words I rise today to honor the life and legacy of Cynthia Brown, a beloved board chairwoman of the New Jersey chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations, serving for 8 years as a dedicated leader in her community.1 Cynthia was an advocate for civil rights in the New Jersey Muslim community. She made history as the first Muslim to serve in the role of East Orange municipal clerk in the State of New Jersey, 2 and her 52 outstanding years of service highlight her loving commitment to civic duty.3 Cynthia was also a highly respected leader at her local mosque in East Orange and was among her community whenever she could as a mentor, advocate, and friend. Throughout her life, Cynthia stood for justice and service, while meeting her community with compassion and devotion. Her impact, work, and voice will be missed by the people of New Jersey. I am praying for the Brown family, the people she has touched, and her faith family. Thanks The ask · 22 words On behalf of New Jersey’s 10th District, I call upon our community to carry her legacy by leading with service and heart.
