                       Tuesday, November 6, 2018

  Mr. MESSER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today, on behalf of the entire 6th 
Congressional District of Indiana, to recognize State Senator Jean 
Leising for her contribution to our state.
  For nearly 18 years, Jean has represented East Central and Southeast 
Indiana with honor and integrity in the Indiana State Senate. As the 
Chair of the Senate Committee on Agriculture, Jean has been an advocate 
for farmers in her district, leading on issues that impact family farms 
across Indiana. She also continues to be a strong voice on education 
policy in the Indiana General Assembly, working to ensure our students 
and teachers are well equipped to succeed. Our state is better off 
today because of her extraordinary leadership and service.
  On a personal note, I have known Jean and her husband, Frank, for 
decades. I would like to thank them for their friendship and support of 
my work in Congress. I wish them continued success in all that God has 
planned for their family.

                          ____________________
