Congressional Record, Volume 172 Issue 144 (Monday, September 14, 2026) [Congressional Record Volume 172, Number 144 (Monday, September 14, 2026)] [Extensions of Remarks] [Pages E911-E912] From the Congressional Record Online through the Government Publishing Office [ www.gpo.gov ] HONORING THE HONORABLE TIMMY L. JAMISON ______ HON. BENNIE G. THOMPSON of mississippi in the house of representatives Monday, September 14, 2026 Mr. THOMPSON of Mississippi. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Alderman Timmy L. Jamison of Marks, Mississippi, a devoted husband, father, grandfather, businessman, and longtime public servant whose life of hard work and compassion has lifted his community. Timmy Jamison was born to James and Annie Jamison of Marks, Mississippi. From the age of six, he learned the value of work alongside his father--plowing gardens, driving tractors, and helping neighbors keep their plots and farms productive. Those early years shaped a lifelong ethic of service, responsibility, and care for others. Timmy graduated from Quitman County High School in 1990. He married Sandra Jamison, and together they raised five children and now cherish seven grandschildren. A small-business owner, Timmy, has been the owner and operator of his trucking company since 2015, providing steady work and dependable service throughout the region. For decades Timmy has stepped forward to serve his neighbors in elected office. He has served as alderman at-large since 1997--apart from one term--and continues in this role today. Whether handling routine municipal matters or helping a neighbor in crisis, Timmy has always put people first. Timmy's life is defined by compassion in action. He is known across Marks for listening, for rolling up his sleeves, and for treating everyone with diginity. Neighbors turn to him for practical help, wise counsel, and the steady presence of a servant-leader who believes public service is about improving the lives of others. [[Page E912]] Mr. Speaker, Alderman Timmy Jamison's dedication to family, enterprise, and community exemplifies the best of small-town America. I ask my colleagues to join me in recognizing him for his decades of faithful service to Marks, Mississipi, and for the compassion and perservance he brings to every task. ____________________
