  Mr. TIPTON. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Mrs. Gigi Dennis, of 
Alamosa, Colorado, who was recently named Colorado's Administrator of 
the Year for 2016 by the Association of County Administrators. 
Administrator Dennis was selected by her peers to receive this honor, 
and it is clear that through her dedication to public service, she has 
left a lasting impact on the community of Alamosa and across the state 
of Colorado.
  Throughout her career, Administrator Dennis has served in a variety 
of state-wide positions, including as Colorado Secretary of State, 
State Senator, and most recently, Alamosa County Administrator. As a 
State Senator, she served as Vice Chair of the Transportation 
Committee, was a member of the Legislative Council, and Chair of the 
Majority Caucus. Administrator Dennis is a quality individual with a 
truly impressive record of public service.
  Mr. Speaker, although this award recognizes individual achievements, 
Administrator Dennis credits her team for her success. Her modesty, 
commitment to fiscal responsibility, and passion for improving the 
lives of others is truly remarkable. I wish Administrator Dennis all 
the best and am thankful for her continued service.
