                                 ______

                              of illinois

                    in the house of representatives

                          Friday, May 1, 2020

  Mrs. BUSTOS. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor Leslie Williams for 
recognizing a need in Moline, Illinois for protective masks and making 
over 1,200 of them for police, firefighters and all who need them.
  Leslie is currently out of work as a server and owner of a cleaning 
company; but is using her time to help others by creating masks during 
the COVID-19 pandemic. The masks are meant to go to first responders, 
front liners and all who need them. She says there is always something 
we can do to help others and that mentality is why she is a Hometown 
Hero. Leslie is using her forced time off to do good in the world and 
in her community. I commend Leslie for her efforts to help others and I 
wish her all the best in her future endeavors.
  It is because of leaders such as Leslie Williams that I am especially 
proud to serve Illinois' 17th Congressional District. Madam Speaker, I 
would like to again formally recognize Leslie Williams for her 
generosity during the COVID-19 pandemic.
