Floor Speech

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mr. DeSAULNIER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the life of Sandra Mae King Hall.

Sandra was born in Fresno, California. After graduating from San Joaquin Memorial High School, she pursued a career in real estate investment, property management, and newspaper distribution.

Sandra played a critical role in protecting local journalism with her husband, Frank Hall. She operated a newspaper distributorship providing local news to Pleasant Hill, California, residents from 1977 to 2009.

Sandra also received numerous accolades for her contributions to the community, including being selected as former Congressman George Miller's delegate at the 1986 White House Conference on Small Business.

Outside of her work as a small business owner, Sandra loved music, travel, and giving back to her community and family. Sadly, Sandra passed away last year at the age of 77. She will be remembered for her entrepreneurial spirit, sense of humor, and remarkable leadership.

Mr. Speaker, please join me in recognizing Sandra Hall for her many contributions to her community. I will miss her and miss our friendship.
