HONORING DR. ALICE MANN

Congressional Record, Volume 172 Issue 86 (Wednesday, May 20, 2026) [Congressional Record Volume 172, Number 86 (Wednesday, May 20, 2026)] [House] [Pages H3631-H3632] From the Congressional Record Online through the Government Publishing Office [ www.gpo.gov ] HONORING DR. ALICE MANN (Ms. MORRISON asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.) Ms. MORRISON. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Dr. Alice Mann for her dedicated service to Minnesotans and her commitment to improving the health and well-being of communities across our State. She immigrated to Minnesota from Brazil as a child and has been a fierce champion of human rights her entire life. Driven by her experiences with patients struggling to access affordable care, Dr. Mann ran for office and was elected to the Minnesota House of Representatives where she championed policies to expand access to healthcare, lower costs, and improve outcomes for families. After caring for patients during the pandemic, Dr. Mann returned to public service and was elected to the Minnesota Senate where she has been a leading voice on healthcare policy and the chief author of legislation establishing paid family and medical leave. [[Page H3632]] Her unwavering advocacy as a legislator and her dedicated care as a physician have changed the trajectory of many people's lives. Dr. Mann is a dear friend to many, a devoted wife to her husband, Elliot, and a caring mother to Maxwell, Alexander, and Marcelo. Mr. Speaker, on behalf of the people of Minnesota, I extend my heartfelt gratitude to Dr. Mann for her care of patients and her contributions to our State. ____________________
