                    in the house of representatives

                         Friday, April 17, 2020

  Mr. THOMPSON of Mississippi. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor a 
remarkable public servant, Ms. Patricia Ransom, who is a lifelong 
resident of Jackson.
  Ms. Patricia Ransom grew up in the Georgetown area and graduated from 
Lanier High School. She holds an Associate of Arts degree in Business 
Administration from Hinds Community College. Her first position after 
graduating was in Human Resources at Jackson Public Schools, where she 
was responsible for assigning substitute teachers. Eight years later, 
she moved to the Property Accounting Department, where she has served 
as a data clerk for the last 20 years. Ms. Ransom has three children 
that attended JPS schools. She believes you cannot educate a child's 
mind without also educating the heart and that everybody in the 
District plays a role in this, from the cafeteria worker to the 
custodian, to the bus driver, to the teachers and administrators.
  Madam Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in recognizing Ms. 
Patricia Ransom.
