Office of the Clerk,

========================= END NOTE =========================
The State of Ohio
Certificate of Election
Representative to Congress--Twelfth District
To the Clerk of the House of Representatives of the United
States:
This is to certify, that on the 7th day of August 2018,
Troy Balderson was duly chosen by the qualified electors of
the 12th Congressional District of the State of Ohio as the
Representative to Congress from said district to represent
said State in the House of Representatives of the United
States for the unexpired term ending January 3, 2019.
In testimony whereof, I have hereunto subscribed my name

[State Seal Affixed
Swearing in of the Honorable Troy Balderson, of Ohio, as a Member of
the House
The SPEAKER. Will Representative-elect Balderson and the Members of
the Ohio delegation present themselves in the well.
All Members will rise and the Representative-elect will please raise
his right hand.
Mr. BALDERSON appeared at the bar of the House and took the oath of
office, as follows:
Do you solemnly swear that you will support and defend the
Constitution of the United States against all enemies,
foreign and domestic; that you will bear true faith and
allegiance to the same; that you take this obligation freely,
without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and
that you will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the
office on which you are about to enter, so help you God.
The SPEAKER. Congratulations, you are now a Member of the 115th
Congress.
[[Page H7863]]
Welcoming the Honorable Troy Balderson to the House of Representatives
The SPEAKER. Without objection, the gentlewoman from Ohio (Ms.
Kaptur) is recognized for 1 minute.
There was no objection.
Ms. KAPTUR. Mr. Speaker, distinguished Members, and guests. It is my
privilege to welcome Congressman Troy Balderson to represent Ohio's
12th District, succeeding Representative Pat Tiberi, who chose to
retire before completing his term.
Let us congratulate you and your coalition for a hard-fought campaign
victory. We all know the demands required to compete in any election,
and yours drew so much national attention.
It is estimated that over $10.5 million was expended overall on the
race, about 60 times what the job pays. So let me offer an idea,
perhaps on a bipartisan basis, that Ohio's Representatives could join
together to lead our Nation to finally limit campaign spending and be
the first State to end this mad dash to excess cash. The money chase is
a real scourge on the very foundation of representative government.
Representative Balderson has served the State of Ohio in the State
House of Representatives as well as most recently the State Senate. He
is a father to one son, as well as an elder in his church. He now
embarks on a new journey of service.
From Zanesville, Ohio, he will represent the centrally located
counties of Franklin, Marion, Muskingum, and Richland, which include a
segment of Ohio's capital and our largest city, Columbus, as well as
small towns and cities across central Ohio.
Representing a diverse set of communities is a hard job. But it is
the job radical gerrymandering has thrust on us. As Representatives in
this people's House, we are designed to be the body closest to the
American people. We know the people of America want reform. They want
solutions. They want action. Our public is demanding that we work
together to find common ground on the great challenges facing our
Nation.
Let us find that common ground by recalling the powerful words of
Daniel Webster carved in this Chamber high above the Speaker's rostrum:
``Let us develop the resources of our land, call forth its powers,
build up its institutions, promote all its great interests, and see
whether we also in our day and generation may not perform something
worthy to be remembered.''
Welcome to the United States House of Representatives, Representative
Troy Balderson.
Mr. Speaker, I yield to the gentleman from Ohio (Mr. Chabot).
Mr. CHABOT. Mr. Speaker, I thank the gentlewoman for yielding.
As the dean of the Ohio Republican delegation, I rise to welcome the
newest Buckeye to our delegation, Troy Balderson.
Troy was born and raised in southeast Ohio. He grew up and worked on
his family farm. He graduated from Zanesville High School. And, Mr.
Speaker, that is Zanesville, not Janesville. He also attended both
Muskingum College as well as The Ohio State University.
Prior to joining our delegation, Troy served our great State as both
a member of the Ohio House of Representatives and a member of the Ohio
Senate. He is no stranger to building relationships, learning the
issues, and solving problems. So he will do well here.
As a businessman, as my colleague mentioned, an elder at the
Christian Church in Zanesville, and as an athlete, Troy has proven time
and again that hard work and a little grit make a very strong leader. I
have no doubt that our delegation and the residents of the 12th
Congressional District will truly benefit from his experience. I
believe that we all will.
Congratulations to you and your family, Troy. On behalf of the Ohio
Republican delegation and I think all Members, welcome to the United
States House of Representatives.
Ms. KAPTUR. Mr. Speaker, I yield to the gentleman from Ohio (Mr.
Balderson).
Mr. BALDERSON. Speaker Ryan, Representative Kaptur, Chairman Chabot,
and my new colleagues, thank you for that very warm welcome. To the
people of the 12th District of Ohio, thank you for this remarkable
opportunity to serve you. It is an honor to stand in this Chamber and
take the oath of office.
Joining me today in the gallery are a number of my great friends,
including my son, Joshua, and my girlfriend, Melanie. Thank you both
for your love and support and for being here by my side today.
My parents, Bill and Kathie, could not be here with me today, but
they are watching back home in Zanesville. I also want to thank them
for their love and support. I would not be here without them.
Most importantly, I would also like to thank the good Lord for
getting me here today.
I am humbled to serve in the people's House and look forward to
fulfilling my duties representing the 12th District of Ohio.
God bless you all. Thank you very much.

House that, in light of the administration of the oath of office to the
