             RECOGNIZING THE SERVICE OF MAYOR NANCY SHAVER

  (Mr. RUTHERFORD asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. RUTHERFORD. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor and recognize 
Mayor Nancy Shaver and her tenure of dedicated service to the citizens 
of St. Augustine, Florida. A strong advocate for the Nation's oldest 
city, Mayor Shaver recently stepped down from her position with an 
admirable record of leadership in her community.
  Mayor Shaver, who previously served as a teacher and businesswoman, 
was elected to office in 2014. During her time as mayor, she was a 
tireless advocate for important issues that are very unique to the city 
of St. Augustine. It was my honor to work with her in the effort to 
combat sea level rise to protect our coastal economies and safeguard 
the priceless historical and cultural features that make St. Augustine 
so special.
  As mayor, she exemplified the virtues of local government by putting 
citizens, not politics, first and remaining devoted to the northeast 
Florida community.
  I thank Nancy Shaver for her commitment to the city of St. Augustine 
and our fellow citizens, for whom she so dearly cared. I wish her and 
her family the best in their future endeavors.
