HONORING WILLIAM O'NEILL McCURDY, SR.

Congressional Record, Volume 172 Issue 69 (Monday, April 20, 2026) [Congressional Record Volume 172, Number 69 (Monday, April 20, 2026)] [House] [Page H2982] From the Congressional Record Online through the Government Publishing Office [ www.gpo.gov ] HONORING WILLIAM O'NEILL McCURDY, SR. (Ms. LEE of Nevada asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 minute.) Ms. LEE of Nevada. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the life and legacy of William O'Neill McCurdy, Sr., affectionately known to many simply as Billy. Billy was a prominent figure in Las Vegas, a long-time pastor, entrepreneur, and community activist, among so much more. A true Las Vegas icon, he was an influential community figure with decades of civic and political ties across the State. Although he never held public office himself, he had an immense influence in the community and in Nevada politics. The McCurdy family has been a fixture on the historic Westside and the entire State of Nevada for seven decades. Nevada is so honored to have felt his impact throughout the years, and we will continue to feel that impact through his family and his son, William McCurdy II, the Clark County Commissioner. Billy McCurdy will forever be remembered and greatly missed by the entire Las Vegas community. ____________________
