                 HONORING THE SERVICE OF TOM FERRARESE

  (Mr. MORELLE asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Mr. MORELLE. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor my longtime friend 
and Monroe County Board of Elections commissioner, Tom Ferrarese, as he 
begins his retirement.
  For more than two decades, Tom has served our community with 
distinction at the Board of Elections, working tirelessly to expand 
access to voters, safeguard our elections, and uphold the democratic 
process.
  Tom has been a passionate political and community activist, working 
diligently to advance the ideals of the Democratic Party, not just 
through his work at the board, but through his extensive volunteer and 
community advocacy on behalf of LGBTQ individuals.
  It has been a true privilege to work alongside Tom, and our entire 
community is grateful for his many years of service. I wish him nothing 
but a well-deserved rest, relaxation, and best wishes in retirement.
