HONORING GOVERNOR JIM HUNT

Congressional Record, Volume 172 Issue 5 (Thursday, January 8, 2026) [Congressional Record Volume 172, Number 5 (Thursday, January 8, 2026)] [House] [Page H230] From the Congressional Record Online through the Government Publishing Office [ www.gpo.gov ] {time} 1740 HONORING GOVERNOR JIM HUNT (Ms. ROSS asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.) Ms. ROSS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor former Governor Jim Hunt, a giant in North Carolina history who sadly passed last month. Governor Hunt leaves behind an extraordinary legacy as a fighter for education, economic development, equality, innovation, and so much more. He was the engine for positive progress in our State. Hunt was known nationally as the Education Governor. He worked relentlessly to ensure that every North Carolinian had access to high- quality and public education and every teacher earned a decent salary. Governor Hunt was a visionary who pushed the economy in North Carolina into the modern era, propelling us from economic stagnation to global leadership in technology and innovation. Personally, he was a mentor to me. I will carry his legacy with me forever. North Carolina is a better place because of Jim Hunt. ____________________
