                      Wednesday, December 2, 2020

  Mr. JORDAN. Madam Speaker, it is my honor to pay tribute to Logan 
County Commissioner John F. Bayliss of Rushsylvania, Ohio. John will 
retire at the end of this year after nearly a quarter-century of 
outstanding service to the people of Logan County.
  Throughout his six terms on the Board of Commissioners--making him 
the longest-serving commissioner in Logan County history--John has 
become known for his superb management skills. His years of experience 
in the private sector, both as the owner of a residential building and 
remodeling company and as a farmer, prepared him well for the diverse 
fiscal challenges of local government.
  During his time in office, John has served on numerous boards and 
committees, including the Logan County Community Improvement Board, the 
Local Emergency Planning Committee, and several committees of the 
County Commissioners Association of Ohio. He is also a past county 
president of the Ohio Farm Bureau and a past county and state president 
of the Ohio Sheep Improvement Association.
  A graduate of The Ohio State University, John and his wife of 44 
years, Sharon, are the proud parents of three children: Brian, 
Courtney, and Brendan. They especially enjoy spending time with their 
seven grandchildren.
  John's colleagues and friends will gather on December 8 to celebrate 
his many contributions and distinguished record. On behalf of the 
people of Ohio's Fourth Congressional District, I am proud to join in 
the accolades to him for his many years of fine public service. We wish 
him and his family every success as they move to a new chapter in their 
lives.
