Mr. CORREA. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the life and legacy of former California United States Senator and Anaheim Mayor John Seymour.
A proud marine, Mr. Seymour served our great Nation from 1955 to 1959 before returning home to pursue his education at UCLA.
Mr. Seymour began his public service in the 1970s, first as an Anaheim city councilman and later serving as our mayor from 1978 to 1982.
Later, Mr. Seymour continued his service as a United States Senator from 1991 to 1992, where he earned a reputation as a pragmatic leader who was willing to work across the aisle on issues such as education, public health, and responsible governance.
After elected office, Mr. Seymour continued his dedication to public service by advancing opportunities for working American families as a leader of the Southern California Housing Development Corporation.
Mr. Speaker, today, we honor the life and legacy of Senator John Seymour.
Go Bruins.
