HONORING LIFE AND LEGACY OF CYNTHIA BROWN

Congressional Record, Volume 172 Issue 137 (Monday, August 31, 2026) [Congressional Record Volume 172, Number 137 (Monday, August 31, 2026)] [House] [Page H5350] From the Congressional Record Online through the Government Publishing Office [ www.gpo.gov ] HONORING LIFE AND LEGACY OF CYNTHIA BROWN (Mrs. McIVER asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.) Mrs. McIVER. Mr. Speaker, 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. 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, and her 52 outstanding years of service highlight her loving commitment to civic duty. 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. On behalf of New Jersey's 10th District, I call upon our community to carry her legacy by leading with service and heart. ____________________
