                       Wednesday, March 16, 2011

  Mr. BOREN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize a man of 
determination, conviction and integrity--State Representative John 
Carey of Durant, Ok.
  Carey, a former member of the Oklahoma House of Representatives, 
served his district and state with distinction during the years of 2002 
to 2010.
  John's legislative work has been devoted to improving education, 
making the state government more efficient and helping the brave men 
and women who have served our nation in the military.
  His personal career has also been focused on improving the lives of 
hard-working Oklahoma families through economic development, business 
growth and community outreach.
  Representative Carey has been active in civic affairs for several 
years, serving as a Gear-Up mentor, a Crisis Control board member, a 
board member of the Oklahoma State University Consumer & Family 
Services Advisory Committee, past chairman of the Bryan County Junior 
Livestock Show and as a member of the Southeastern Oklahoma State 
University Homecoming Committee.
  It is with great pleasure that I take this opportunity to acknowledge 
not only his successes in the Oklahoma legislature, but also his work 
as a devoted father and a steadfast friend.
  John Carey is the husband of Pam Carey and father of G.W., Emma, and 
Anna Carey.
  The 21st House District of Oklahoma is a better place because of the 
service of my friend and colleague, John Carey.
