President. today I to celebrate the life and work of Evelyn "Evy" Dubrow. a longtime champion for working people in our country. who passed away this week at the age of 95. Evy was loved by many Members of Congress. but I think I will miss her more than most. She came from my hometown of Paterson. NJ. Her parents were immigrants. like my own mother and father. And one of her first jobs was as a reporter at the Paterson Morning Call. which was our local newspaper. Evy soon moved into union work. first as a secretary for the textile workers union. and then as an assistant to the president of the New Jersey Congress of Industrial Organizations.
