                        Wednesday, June 12, 2019

  Mr. LaHOOD. Madam Speaker, I would like to honor Doug Wilson for his 
retirement as the mayor of Henry, Illinois.
  Mayor Wilson will retire after eight years of service in local 
government. Wilson began serving as a member of the City Council in 
2011 before becoming mayor in 2014. One of the most important causes 
that Mayor Wilson championed was the Port of Henry. Wilson worked 
tirelessly to lure in a new industry with the ability to spark 
considerable economic growth to the area. After nearly a decade of 
dedication to the people of Henry, Mayor Wilson's public service has 
left a profound impact on our community.
  I am grateful for Mayor Wilson's time and commitment to the city of 
Henry. His work as a public servant has left a legacy in our community 
that will remain for generations to come.
