Congressional Record, Volume 172 Issue 76 (Thursday, April 30, 2026) [Congressional Record Volume 172, Number 76 (Thursday, April 30, 2026)] [House] [Page H3298] From the Congressional Record Online through the Government Publishing Office [ www.gpo.gov ] HONORING LIFE OF ANTHONY YANIZ (Mr. GIMENEZ asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.) Mr. GIMENEZ. Mr. Speaker, I come to the floor today to honor the life of Anthony Yaniz, a proud son of Key West and a true pillar of the Florida Keys community. Tony was a former Key West commissioner and a larger-than-life figure who dedicated himself to serving others and strengthening the community that he loved. Tony's work supported important local institutions, including the Key West Veterans Memorial and the Center for Animal Welfare and Education. His commitment to his community was not just public. It was personal. He showed up for his neighbors time and time again. Anthony Yaniz leaves behind a legacy of service, passion, and love for Key West. He will be deeply missed, but his impact will live on for generations. May he rest in peace. ____________________
