Congressional Record, Volume 171 Issue 9 (Thursday, January 16, 2025) [Congressional Record Volume 171, Number 9 (Thursday, January 16, 2025)] [House] [Page H190] From the Congressional Record Online through the Government Publishing Office [ www.gpo.gov ] HONORING THE LIFE AND LEGACY OF JOSE ADAN TREVINO (Ms. GARCIA of Texas asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.) Ms. GARCIA of Texas. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the life and legacy of Jose Adan Trevino. Born in Brownsville, Texas, Adan began his career as a pharmacist in the East End community of Houston in my district, meeting the community's needs while growing his business. This theme carried throughout his life. In 1977, he founded KXLN, Houston's first Spanish-language TV station, later becoming Univision Houston, and earning him the title of ``Father of Spanish-Language Television.'' We helped start the Houston Hispanic Chamber of Commerce together, which grew to be one of the largest in the country. He was even named one of the 100 most influential Hispanics in America. Adan's greatest title wasn't media mogul, businessman, or chairman. It was daddy and granddaddy. He adored his daughters, Cynthia and Glorianna, and his grandchildren, Jessica, Lauren, Adam, and Blake. His love for them was his proudest achievement and his most enduring legacy. Mr. Speaker, we will miss Adan's warmth, his friendship, and his belief in a better tomorrow for all. ____________________
