                            HON. JOE NEGUSE

                    in the house of representatives

                       Wednesday, January 6, 2021

  Mr. NEGUSE. Madam Speaker, today I want to honor an extraordinary 
leader and colleague of mine who has worked tirelessly for his 
constituents, Colorado State Senator Mike Foote. After serving 5 years 
in the Colorado House of Representatives, Senator Foote then served an 
additional two years as State Senator for District 17 in the Colorado 
Senate.
  The time and effort Senator Foote put into representing his community 
is a testament to his ability and dedication to his constituency. 
Senator Foote worked hard to generate bipartisan agreements on 
legislation, putting his constituents above politics. He worked 
tirelessly to represent the values of his constituents, especially as a 
leader in critical efforts to fight climate change and preserve our 
environment for generations to come.
  During the COVID-19 pandemic, he authored legislation that was signed 
into law to protect consumers from price gouging and other deceptive 
business practices, and he has long worked to protect consumers all 
across Colorado.
  Senator Foote has been a dedicated public servant to the people of 
Boulder County for many years, and he has made a tremendous impact on 
his community. I am grateful for his work, and I am sure that he will 
leave a lasting legacy in our great state. I thank him for his service 
and contributions to the state of Colorado and wish him a restful and 
well-deserved retirement from public service.
