                       Tuesday, January 25, 2022

  Mrs. DINGELL. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize Mr. Brian 
O'Donnell on the occasionV his retirement from the City Council of 
Dearborn, Michigan, where he has honorably served for over ten years. 
His significant contributions to our community are worthy of 
commendation.
  Mr. O'Donnell is a graduate of Divine Child High School in Dearborn. 
He also attended Madonna University and Baker College. An active member 
of the Dearborn community for over two decades, he has served as a City 
Beautiful Commissioner, as Vice President of the Dearborn Federation of 
Neighborhood Associations, and as a trustee of the Dearborn Hills Civic 
Association. Beyond serving on the Council, he has worked for the 
Bristol-Myers Squibb Company and the State of Michigan.
  While on the Dearborn City Council, Mr. O'Donnell was dedicated to 
promoting smart government spending while still ensuring that the City 
can continue to provide stellar service to the residents of Dearborn. 
His voice was constantly a part of the productive discussion and 
progress made during his time on the Council. From fixing broken 
streetlights to participating in countless community events around 
town, his focus was on revitalizing and stabilizing our neighborhoods 
and making them a better place for all. Mr. O'Donnell's leadership and 
insight are an asset to the Dearborn community at large. He continues 
to live in the Dearborn area with his wife Julia and their children 
Sean and Cece.
  Madam Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in honoring Brian 
O'Donnell. We are grateful for his time spent serving the citizens of 
Dearborn as a member of the City Council. I join with his family, 
friends, and colleagues in extending my best wishes to him in the 
future.
