Recognizing Jonathon Clark

Floor Speech

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Ms. TLAIB. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in recognition of Jonathon Clark, an outstanding resident and community advocate of Michigan's 13th Congressional District.

Jonathon Clark was known for his unwavering commitment to helping others in need and ministering to the spiritual needs of his neighbors.

Whether tending to his beautiful family he shared with his wife, Dawn Wilson-Clark; leading worship at City Covenant Church in Detroit; or lending his talents to several community works, he was an unbelievably beautiful human being.

In his work, he served as a mentor to so many of our young people, and he never shied away from offering them help and guiding them in the right direction.

He also founded an early children's literacy program, called Talking is Teaching, as a coordinator for City Covenant's summer camp.

In honor of his memory, please join me in recognizing his outstanding contributions to Michigan's 13th Congressional District.
