  Mr. CALVERT. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor and pay tribute to 
Canyon Lake City Council Member Jordan Ehrenkranz, who passed away on 
Tuesday, May 4, 2021. Jordan was a tireless and compassionate member of 
our Riverside County community and he will be deeply missed.
  Jordan was born in Los Angeles, California, August 21, 1933. After 
attending local schools, Jordan began his career by becoming a sheet 
metal industry apprentice in a shop in Santa Monica. Just a few years 
later, at the age of 24, Jordan took his first step on what would 
become a lifelong entrepreneurial path by starting his own business. In 
1967, Jordan acquired Ideal Heating and Air Conditioning and shortly 
thereafter became involved with the local chapter of the Sheet Metal 
and Air Conditioning Contractors National Association. Jordan would go 
on to serve in various leadership roles within the association 
throughout his career and received its Career Legislative Service Award 
in 2011.
  Jordan continued to demonstrate his leadership after moving to the 
City of Canyon Lake, where he would go on to serve on the Board of 
Directors for the Canyon Lake Property Owners Association for five 
years before being elected to the Canyon Lake City Council in 2008. 
After serving 12 years on the city council, including four years as 
mayor, Jordan became the longest serving city council member in the 
city's history. In addition to his community service, Jordan enjoyed 
bowling, playing poker, and dedicating his time to clubs such as the 
Men's Golf Club, Canyon Lake Association of Men, Fine Arts Guild, POA 
Facility Reviews Committee, and the Travel Club. In recognition of his 
significant involvement, Jordan was fittingly honored as the Canyon 
Lake Citizen of the Year in 2019.
  Jordan is survived by his wife, Jennie Ehrenkranz, their five grown 
children, and seven grandchildren. I extend my heartfelt condolences to 
the Ehrenkranz family, his friends, and everyone fortunate enough to 
know Jordan. Although he may be gone, the many contributions Jordan 
made to his community and family will have a lasting impact.
