  Mr. PERLMUTTER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and applaud 
John Tracy for receiving the Jefferson County 2015 Hall of Fame Award 
from the West Chamber.
   The Hall of Fame Award recognizes outstanding individuals who have 
had significant, long-lasting impacts through their leadership and 
contributions to Jefferson County's economy, community and legacy.
   John Tracy has shown a lifelong dedication to the Jefferson County 
community. John's extensive involvement in three local Chambers of 
Commerce--Golden, West and Wheat Ridge--has helped to bring in new 
members, create new community events, and support economic development 
in the region.
   For the past ten years, John has served on the Jefferson County 
Business Lobby and the Lakewood Legacy Foundation. He has also held 
positions with the Golden Chamber Downtown Merchants and Golden Good 
Government League for more than 20 years. In addition, John helped 
found both the Applewood Business Association and the Wheat Ridge 
Business Association.
   Currently, John owns his own publishing company, John Tracy 
Publishing. In 2011, the City of Golden awarded John with the `Golden 
Living Landmark Award' for his exceptional and diverse involvement in 
the community. Additionally, he has been recognized with Golden 
Rotary's `Service Above Self' award and the Golden Chamber's `Charlie 
O'Brien Award.'
   Congratulations to John Tracy for this well-deserved honor by the 
West Chamber. I am grateful for his contributions to Jefferson County.
