                       Tuesday, November 27, 2018

  Mr. MESSER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today, on behalf of the entire 6th 
Congressional District of Indiana, to recognize Mayor Damon Welch for 
his contribution to our state and the City of Madison.
  Over the years, Damon has been a loyal friend and wise adviser to me. 
He has also served the City of Madison, as mayor, with honor and 
integrity. Damon has made improving the quality of life in the 
community his main priority for years. Several economic development 
initiatives, including being designated as a Stellar Community in 2017, 
have been the result of Damon's hard work and commitment to the 
historic City of Madison. Our state is better off today because of his 
extraordinary leadership and service.
  On a personal note, Damon is a brother in Christ. I have truly 
appreciated his prayers and encouragement over the years. I wish him 
continued success in all that God has planned for him and his family.
