  CONGRATULATING JEFF RANKIN FOR RECEIVING THE DISTINGUISHED SERVICE 
                       AWARD BY MONMOUTH COLLEGE

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. CHERI BUSTOS

                              of illinois

                    in the house of representatives

                      Wednesday, October 27, 2021

  Mrs. BUSTOS. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize Jeff Rankin, 
who is this year's recipient of the Distinguished Service Award by 
Monmouth College.
  Mr. Rankin has always been drawn to Monmouth College, as his father 
played football for Monmouth. Further, his twin brother attended the 
institution and is now its Director of Theater. A strong affinity for 
Monmouth College is a part of the fabric of his family, which is why 
Mr. Rankin has truly been dedicated to sharing the story of Monmouth 
with the world for nearly his entire life. From 1992 until 2015, Mr. 
Rankin was Director of Communications for the College, where he served 
as an ambassador and one of its strongest advocates. He now assists the 
institution in a new position as the College's historian. Mr. Rankin's 
contributions to advancing the rapid progress of Monmouth College have 
been significant and invaluable.
  It is because of passionate and leaders such as Jeff Rankin that I am 
especially proud to serve Illinois' 17th Congressional District. Madam 
Speaker, I would like to, again, formally congratulate Jeff Rankin on 
receiving the Distinguished Service Award and thank him for his service 
to the Monmouth community.
