 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.


                      Announcement by the Speaker

  The SPEAKER. Under clause 5(d) of rule XX, the Chair announces to the 
House that, in light of the administration of the oath of office to the

  There was no objection.
  The SPEAKER. The question is on the passage of the bill.

  The yeas and nays were ordered.
