                RECOGNIZING THE HONORABLE PAULA STOCKMAN

                                 ______
                                 

                             HON. TOM REED

                              of new york

                    in the house of representatives

                       Thursday, January 18, 2018

  Mr. REED. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the memory of a 
dedicated public servant and trusted leader, Cattaraugus County 
Legislature Chairman Paula Stockman, who unexpectedly passed away late 
last week.
  Mrs. Stockman had served on the Cattaraugus County legislature since 
2010, and became the second woman to hold the chair in 2015. Prior to 
her tenure on the county legislature, Mrs. Stockman served as village 
clerk in her home of South Dayton, New York. She also served as co-
chairman of the Cattaraugus County Shared Services Initiatives.
  Mrs. Stockman played an important role in the county legislature's 
work to reestablish the Cornell Cooperative Extension of Cattaraugus 
County. She also worked to ensure the continuation of the 4-H program 
for more than four-hundred young people.
  I ask my colleagues to join me in remembering Mrs. Paula Stockman and 
her exemplary legacy of service to Cattaraugus County, and in assuring 
the family and community that she leaves behind that our thoughts and 
prayers are with them.

                          ____________________
