                    in the house of representatives

                      Wednesday, December 16, 2020

  Mr. GRAVES of Missouri. Madam Speaker, I proudly pause to 
congratulate Thomas Brown on his retirement and thank him for his many 
meaningful years of service to the Sixth Congressional District of 
Missouri.
  Tom has been a crucial member of my team in the House of 
Representatives for fifteen years, and his impact on Missouri's Sixth 
Congressional District cannot be overstated. In 2005, Tom joined my 
team as Chief of Staff, and has since held multiple other titles, 
including District Director and Senior Advisor. Tom's wealth of 
knowledge about Missouri and the needs of the constituents in the Sixth 
Congressional District made him both an effective leader in the office 
and an invaluable voice for the district. In the past fifteen years, 
Tom has made himself known as a true force to be reckoned with, using 
his wide network of relationships and his unmatched experience in the 
region to bring real change to Missourians.
  Tom's dedication to the people of Missouri is in no way limited to 
his time on my staff. Before joining our team, Tom served as a Clay 
County Commissioner, Chairman of the Missouri Lottery Commission, and 
the Chairman of the Board at Saint Luke's North Hospital. Tom has also 
served on boards for the Mid-America Regional Council, Tri-County 
Mental Health, and Synergy Services. His tireless efforts on behalf of 
Missouri will be felt long after his time on staff comes to an end.
  Madam Speaker, I proudly ask you to join me in recognizing Tom Brown 
for his commitment to the Northland, Missouri's Congressional Sixth 
District, and the entire Show Me State. I am honored to have worked 
with him for the past 15 years and am honored to call him, and his 
family, my friends and neighbors.
