                         Thursday, May 29, 2014

  Mr. HUIZENGA of Michigan. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize 
Daniel Krueger and his commendable service to Michigan's Western 
District as Ottawa County Clerk.
   Daniel Krueger, the longest serving county clerk in the state, has 
served as the Ottawa County Clerk for over 35 years. During this time 
Daniel Krueger has proudly served the people of Ottawa County, as well 
as all of West Michigan.
   Daniel Krueger received his Bachelor's in History from Hope College 
in Holland, Michigan. He then went on to receive his Masters Degree 
from Michigan State University. In 1978, Daniel Krueger was appointed 
to serve as the Ottawa County Clerk, and in 2012, he was elected as the 
Ottawa County Clerk and Register of Deeds. He is a member of the 
Michigan Association of County Clerks, and he has been on the 
legislative committee serving as chair and co-chair since 1990. He was 
also appointed to the board of the Michigan Association of Registers of 
Deeds in 2013 where he continues to serve.
   Throughout his career, Daniel Krueger has worked to improve and 
enhance the efficiency of the county clerk's office. Beginning in 1980, 
Mr. Krueger initiated the computerization of court processes, and in 
2006 he began the process of digitalizing all of the county court 
records. He has continued to work toward a paperless court process with 
electronic transmittal of records between county court offices, 
electronic certification of court documents, and online jury processes. 
For his efforts in promoting efficiency and the education of others, 
Mr. Krueger has been selected as County Clerk of the Year, and was 
selected as the Michigan State University Continuing Education's Clerk 
of the Year.
   I ask my colleagues to join me in honoring Daniel Krueger for his 
service to Ottawa County and the Western District.
