                    in the house of representatives

                       Thursday, October 31, 2019

  Mr. PERLMUTTER. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize and applaud 
Brandon Bortles and Noah Heaney for receiving the Golden Mayor's Award 
for Excellence.
   Brandon Bortles & Noah Heaney both Golden residents, own competing 
restaurants: Brandon owns Abejas, and Noah co-owns Miners Saloon. 
Instead of focusing on competing for customers, Brandon and Noah 
decided to work together to bring more diverse dining options to 
downtown Golden. This collaboration has already brought us Sur Mesa 
Taqueria, which opened inside Tributary Food Hall in September, and 
will soon bring us Nosu Ramen across the street. Together, Brandon and 
Noah are making an enormous contribution to Golden's economy, our 
culinary options, our social gathering places, and our sense of 
community.
   I congratulate Brandon and Noah for receiving this well-deserved 
honor by Mayor Marjorie Sloan. I thank them for their contributions to 
our community.
