                       Tuesday, January 25, 2022

  Mr. FITZPATRICK. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize a notable 
public servant within my district, Robert Winkler. After serving his 
community as a Zoning Officer, Code Enforcement Officer, and Building 
Inspector for twenty-four years, Robert ran for office and was chosen 
by the Borough of Penndel to be their Mayor.
  Throughout his twelve year tenure, Mayor Winkler worked diligently to 
improve the borough and the quality of life of all its citizens. 
Through his relationships with other elected officials at every level 
of government, as well as business owners and industry executives, 
Robert improved the delivery of municipal services. He increased 
communication between residents and businesses through the 
establishment of a semi-annual newsletter. Through his office, Mayor 
Winkler actively coordinated community events such as holiday parades, 
the Penndel Borough Community Day, and food drives. His work did not go 
unnoticed: not only was he re-elected three times, but Robert was also 
honored by the Pennsylvania State Association of Boroughs as Mayor of 
the Year in 2019.
  Today, I am proud to recognize Robert Winkler as an exceptional man 
of proven leadership who never wavered in his commitment to serving our 
community and country. We are incredibly grateful for Robert's decades 
of public service and the positive impact that he has had on his 
beloved home of Penndel and the entirety of our Bucks County community.
