                                 ______

                    in the house of representatives

                      Wednesday, January 30, 2019

  Mr. LUJAN. Madam Speaker, I rise today in honor of New Mexico state 
Representative Henry ``Kiki'' Saavedra, who passed away earlier this 
week.
  Kiki was a legend in the Roundhouse. A longtime friend and colleague 
of my father, I grew up playing with his young sons as our dads worked 
together. I remember his laughter, and later, as I grew up, I saw how 
that infectious spirit brought people together politically.
  He was well liked and respected by everyone, regardless of party. 
And, whether it was infrastructure projects or funding issues, he got 
things done because of it.
  Kiki was truly a special person, and I know his impact will be felt 
in the Legislature for decades to come.
  My prayers are with Kiki and his loving family during this difficult 
time. May he rest in peace.
