Congressional Record, Volume 172 Issue 43 (Monday, March 9, 2026) [Congressional Record Volume 172, Number 43 (Monday, March 9, 2026)] [Senate] [Pages S914-S915] From the Congressional Record Online through the Government Publishing Office [ www.gpo.gov ] TRIBUTE TO JULIUS CAMPBELL Ms. BALDWIN. Madam President, I rise today to recognize the exceptional career and life of Julius Campbell. Mr. Campbell is a pillar of the Milwaukee community, and he has left an indelible mark on the lives of many. From serving in the Navy during World War II to his early career as a third-grade teacher for Milwaukee Public Schools to the founding his own church, Mr. Campbell has put his faith in action through a lifetime service to his community and Nation. Mr. Campbell is a man of deep faith, following a call to preach from a very young age. When founding his first church in 1958, he aimed to focus his work on inspiring and guiding younger generations. Mr. Campbell prides himself on serving God by helping families in need across his community. Mr. Campbell became a Milwaukee crossing guard at 69 years of age, and he has spent the last 30 years providing parents with a sense of comfort, joy, and trust as their children pass through Mr. Campbell's crosswalk on their way to school. At Yeshiva Elementary School on Milwaukee's Northwest Side, Mr. Campbell is a constant in the students' daily routines, and they are often seen running to his crosswalk just to wish him good morning. Mr. Campbell recently celebrated his 100th birthday, yet has no plans to retire. Instead, he hopes to continue serving his community by helping Milwaukee's students safely cross the street. I am pleased to recognize the contributions Mr. Campbell has made to the people of Milwaukee, the State of Wisconsin, and our Nation. [[Page S915]] ____________________
