HONORING NORTH CAROLINA STATE REPRESENTATIVE DEAN ARP

Congressional Record, Volume 171 Issue 25 (Thursday, February 6, 2025) [Congressional Record Volume 171, Number 25 (Thursday, February 6, 2025)] [House] [Page H519] From the Congressional Record Online through the Government Publishing Office [ www.gpo.gov ] HONORING NORTH CAROLINA STATE REPRESENTATIVE DEAN ARP (Mr. HARRIS of North Carolina asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.) Mr. HARRIS of North Carolina. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor one of my constituents, Representative Dean Arp of the North Carolina General Assembly, for going above and beyond and putting his life on the line for a fellow North Carolinian just this week. On Monday night, Representative Arp found himself in the position of seeing something that looked concerning. During a road trip, he noticed smoke coming from a roadside mobile home. Being moved in his heart to turn around and stop, Representative Arp discovered a woman in a wheelchair, trying to escape her burning home. What did Representative Arp do? He took his public service to a whole new level, rescuing her from the flaming house and saving the woman's life. Not everyone would have the courage to step up and get engaged, but Representative Arp clearly has a hero's heart. Mr. Speaker, in a day of the slogan, If You See Something, Say Something, I thank God Representative Arp saw something and did something to change the outcome. ____________________
