ICYMI: Last month, Congresswoman Lizzie Fletcher (TX-07) spoke on the House floor to honor David Castro, a TX-07 constituent who tragically died on July 7 after being shot in a road rage incident on his way home from an Astros game last month. 

Congresswoman Fletcher took to the House floor to share the wish of David’s family – that we remember him by performing random acts of kindness.  

Below are Congresswoman Fletcher’s remarks as delivered: 

Thank you, Madam Speaker. I rise today with a heavy heart to honor the life of one of my constituents, David Castro. 

Born and raised in Houston over the last 17 years, David was tragically killed in a road rage incident on his way home from an Astros game, just earlier this month. 

He had a bright future ahead of him.  A National Merit scholar semifinalist, he excelled in math and physics.  He was a percussionist in the Westside High School Marching Band.

Today, as I extend my deep condolences to David's family and friends for their loss, I rise to share their wish that our community and our country remember David through random acts of kindness.  What a beautiful way to memorialize him. 

David Castro will be missed, but never forgotten, and will live on in acts of kindness across this country. 

Thank you, Madam Speaker.  I yield back.
