                                of texas

                    in the house of representatives

                       Monday, November 14, 2016

  Mr. BURGESS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Timothy Hoy, a 
committed Denton County Republican Party activist and tireless defender 
of conservative principles.
  Mr. Hoy passed away the week of October 31st and will be remembered 
as a committed volunteer and invaluable worker at the state, local and 
national level.
  Mr. Hoy became active in Denton County politics in the late 1980s, 
first serving as Precinct Chairman. He went on to be an elections 
judge, campaign manager for Commissioner Ron Marchant and most recently 
campaigned for U.S. Senator Ted Cruz in Iowa during the 2016 
presidential election.
  From 2002 through 2010, Mr. Hoy served on the State Republican 
Executive Committee and received an award for his achievements at the 
close of nearly eight years spent as an unwavering public servant. He 
was also named the Denton County Republican Party Volunteer of the Year 
in 1998 and Precinct Chair of the Year in 2001.
  Mr. Hoy is revered as a keen political mind and hard worker who was 
always ready to fiercely support the candidates and ideals he believed 
in. He is remembered as gracious, kind and a friend to all, no matter 
an election's outcome.
  I join several of my fellow Texas elected officials in offering my 
sincerest condolences to the members of the Denton County Republican 
Party and all who were inspired and touched by Mr. Hoy. His commitment 
to furthering conservative ideals and his service to Denton, the state 
of Texas and our nation will not soon be forgotten.
