                    in the house of representatives

                          Friday, May 28, 2021

  Ms. STEVENS. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize the longtime 
service of Oakland County Treasurer Andrew ``Andy'' Meisner.
  Andy has served the families of Oakland County at the Federal, State, 
and local levels. He served three terms as a member of the Michigan 
House of Representatives--eventually chairing the House Commerce 
Committee. Andy began serving as the Oakland County Treasurer in 2009, 
when our country was in the depth of the foreclosure crisis. He worked 
diligently with stakeholders to help them get back on their feet and 
stay in their homes, all while maintaining Oakland County's AAA bond 
rating.
  Over the past 12 years, Andy has made it his priority to protect the 
financial well-being of Oakland County and its residents. He has 
creatively educated students on the importance of financial literacy 
through his Financial Literacy Art Contest and created the Financial 
Empowerment Center, a program aimed at advising county residents, 
especially small business owners, through financial challenges. We in 
Michigan's 11th Congressional District, and across the county, are so 
very grateful to him for his dedication to our community.
  Madam Speaker, on behalf of the Oakland County delegation, I ask my 
colleagues to join me in thanking Andy Meisner for his service and many 
contributions as Oakland County Treasurer.
