E1353 Congressional Record, Volume 168 Issue 201 (Friday, December 23, 2022) [Congressional Record Volume 168, Number 201 (Friday, December 23, 2022)] [Extensions of Remarks] [Page E1353] From the Congressional Record Online through the Government Publishing Office [www.gpo.gov] HONORING JAMES HOLMES ______ HON. ABIGAIL DAVIS SPANBERGER of virginia in the house of representatives Friday, December 23, 2022 Ms. SPANBERGER. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor the lifetime of achievement of Mr. James Holmes. Following decades of service to the Culpeper community and 35 years of service to the Culpeper County Electoral Board, Mr. Holmes is stepping down as current Chair of the Board at the end of this year. Growing up in Culpeper, James Holmes attended George Washington Carver School and was among the first integrated classes at Culpeper High School. Mr. Holmes' determination to improve our Commonwealth for future generations of Virginians brought him back to Culpeper after he graduated Cum Laude from Virginia Union University and earned his JD from Howard Law School. A licensed ordained Baptist minister who has pastored in Culpeper for decades, Mr. Holmes has held many positions with the Wayland Blue Ridge Baptist Association. From his service on the Electoral Board to casting an Electoral Vote in 2008 for our first Black president, James Holmes has demonstrated a commitment to civic engagement and elevating the voices of Virginians within his community. Mr. Holmes has touched many lives throughout his career--as President of Culpeper Housing and Shelter Services, President of Culpeper County United Way, President of the Culpeper County Equalization Board, and as a caring member of his community. Today, I thank James Holmes for his commitment to progress, equality, and community empowerment. ____________________
