  Mr. NEY. Mr. Speaker:
  Whereas, Jo Ann Davidson has been selected to serve as the co-
chairman of the national Republican Party; and,
  Whereas, Jo Ann Davidson was the first woman to serve as Speaker of 
the Ohio House, maintained a 20 year career in the Ohio House, and was 
a driving force behind the passage of a complex electricity 
deregulation bill in 1999; and
  Whereas, Jo Ann Davidson should be commended for her work during the 
grassroots efforts of the 2004 Ohio Republican Party campaign in the 
Ohio Valley region.
  Therefore, I join with the residents of the entire 18th Congressional 
District of Ohio in honoring and congratulating Jo Ann Davidson for her 
outstanding appointment.
