                      Thursday, December 19, 2019

  Mr. BALDERSON. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize Mayor Jeff 
Tilton, for his dedication to Zanesville, Ohio and the surrounding 
area.
  Mayor Tilton's career, now spanning more than four decades, 
exemplifies a selfless commitment to public service. After dedicating 
39 years to Burnham Foundry, Jeff served three plus terms as Zanesville 
Councilman. Jeff was then sworn in as Mayor in 2011. Jeff's service 
stretches far past his duties as Mayor as he is also a member of 
multiple local organizations, such as the Genesis Advisory Board, the 
Advisory Board of the Oaks at Bethesda and Northpoint, the Zanesville 
Sertoma Club, and the Salvation Army Board, just to name a few.
  As a holder of public office, Mayor Tilton has continually gone above 
and beyond his call of duty. Jeff can be credited for improving 
broadband access, infrastructure, and downtown development in 
Zanesville. Outside of local government, Jeff's dedication has 
manifested itself in countless ways over the years, including in his 
volunteer work around Zanesville. Jeff is an active volunteer with 
Miracle on Main Street, Souper Bowl Sunday and the Y-Bridge Arts 
Festival. Many different groups and organizations throughout Muskingum 
County have benefited from Jeff's time and assistance.
  Admired and respected by the people that have had the chance to work 
alongside Jeff, it is evident he has left a positive impact on 
Zanesville and the individuals that make up the community. As family, 
friends, and Zanesville gather to recognize Jeff's outstanding career, 
I salute him for his ongoing commitment to service above self. Mayor 
Tilton can take great pride in all he has accomplished and in the 
positive impact that his work has--and will continue to--have.
  I thank Jeff for his devotion to bettering Zanesville, Ohio and in 
turn, I honor him for his incredible record of achievement.
