          RECOGNIZING KELLER, TEXAS' MOST FAMILY-FRIENDLY CITY

  (Ms. VAN DUYNE asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute.)
  Ms. VAN DUYNE. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize the efforts 
of the city of Keller in becoming the most family-friendly city in the 
State of Texas.
  This community of over 45,000 residents sits in the heart of the 
Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex and prides itself on pairing big city 
comforts with small town charm.
  Its history is rooted in the perseverance of frontier settlers in the 
golden age of railroads. That spirit lives on today in a community of 
incredible entrepreneurs and small business owners, beautiful parks and 
trails, excellent schools, and award-winning city facilities and 
programs.
  Often listed among the safest and best places to live in America, 
this city strives to serve its citizens at every stage of life, from 
young families buying their first homes to empty nesters who could not 
imagine living anywhere else.
  In that effort, Keller City Council recognizes the importance of 
fighting on behalf of taxpayers, attracting exceptional economic 
development, prioritizing the community's roads and sidewalks, and 
ensuring public safety by supporting its unparalleled first responders.

  Madam Speaker, I congratulate the city of Keller and their shared 
vision of becoming Texas' most family-friendly city. I look forward to 
seeing the incredible progress that this community will see working 
together.
