                    in the house of representatives

                        Friday, October 27, 2017

  Mr. YOUNG of Iowa. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and 
congratulate Bonny Baker on her recent retirement from the Taylor 
County Courthouse after 43 years of dedicated service.

[[Page E1448]]

  Bonny began her work at the Taylor County Courthouse in September of 
1973 while she was still a senior at Bedford High School. For seven 
years, she worked in the Treasurer's office before moving to the County 
Auditor's office. In 1999, Bonny was appointed as county auditor. She 
has worked on everything from secretary duties to the board of 
supervisors, election-day preparation, passport services and tax 
statements. She stated in the Bedford Times-Press that ``I loved 
working there and loved the rush of working with people all day long.''
  Mr. Speaker, I am proud to represent Iowans like Bonny in the United 
States Congress and it is with great pride that I recognize her today 
for her outstanding service. I ask that my colleagues in the United 
States House of Representatives join me in congratulating her on her 
retirement and in wishing her nothing but the best in the next chapter 
of her life.
