                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, November 27, 2018

  Mr. MESSER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today, on behalf of the entire 6th 
Congressional District of Indiana, to recognize Jeff and Danae Sponsel 
for their contribution to our state and country.
  Over the years, Jeff and Danae have served the City of Shelbyville 
and Shelby County in a variety of roles with honor and distinction. 
Jeff is always quick with a joke, yet has a fiery passion for serving 
his fellow Hoosiers. He has spent years serving in various positions in 
the community, including on the City Council and as the Shelby County 
Election Deputy. Danae is a rock star and has dedicated herself toward 
advancing Republican principles with the local party. It has been an 
honor to work with them and our state is better off today because of 
their extraordinary leadership and service.
  On a personal note, Jeff and Danae were among my earliest supporters 
of my first run for the state legislature. Jennifer and I cherish our 
friendship with both Jeff and Danae and I would like to thank them for 
their support of my work in Congress. We wish them continued success in 
all that God has planned for their family.

                          ____________________
