                       Monday, December 10, 2018

  Mr. COMER. Mr. Speaker, I would like to congratulate Judge/Executive 
Johnny Hobdy of Allen County in the 1st District of Kentucky on his 
retirement after 14 years of public service. I am grateful for Judge 
Hobdy's contributions to Allen County and admire his leadership and 
vast influence in communities throughout the 1st Congressional 
District.
  A true public servant, he served in state government under Kentucky 
Governor Wallace Wilkinson. During this time, he developed a network of 
connections and an understanding of politics that would aid him 
throughout his career.
  Judge Hobdy has also devoted his time to improving the lives of 
disabled youth through his involvement with the Center for Courageous 
Kids in Scottsville, Kentucky. This non-profit organization provides 
children with serious illnesses like cancer, sickle cell anemia, and 
muscular dystrophy the opportunity to experience summer camp at no 
cost.
  Throughout his tenure, Judge Hobdy has also served as a Director on 
several local and regional boards, including the Chamber of Commerce, 
the Allen County Health Department, and the Barren River Area 
Development District.
  I am honored to call Judge Hobdy a friend and constituent. I join 
with all those he has

served in congratulating him on pursuing a lifetime of passion and 
service and wish him continued personal success in his retirement.
