  Mr. NEY. Mr. Speaker, on the occasion of their trip to Washington, we 
rise to recognize the new members of the Jo Ann Davidson Ohio 
Leadership Institute.

training and encouragement necessary to assume appointed or electorate 
roles in government and the Republican Party. Under the leadership of 
Betty D. Montgomery

and Jo Ann Davidson, the Institute is focused on fulfilling three 
critical goals: introduce students to the tools they need to succeed as 
leaders, teach students to adapt their leadership skills to government 
and politics, and inspire students to define their own political 
aspirations.
  On behalf of the entire House community, we extend congratulations to 
Class Members Nancy Nix, Concepcion Reyna, Laverne Jones Gore, Judy 
Sonner, Lorri Bates, Michelle Griffiths, Marsha Hall, Suzanne McLeod, 
Lora Miller, Holly Pendell, Chris Pirik, Julia Stautberg, Shannon 
Donnelly, Jennifer Chesrown, Billie Fiore, Angie King and Stephanie 
Elliott Hess for their successful matriculation. As new Members of the 
Institute they are in a unique position to serve as resources for each 
other and mentors to a new generation of Republican women. We wish them 
the best of luck in their endeavors and their continued public service.
