          HONORING JOE HOSHAW, JR. EDITOR OF THE TRENTON TRIB

                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. DEBBIE DINGELL

                    in the house of representatives

                       Friday, February 18, 2022

  Mrs. DINGELL. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize Joe Hoshaw, 
Jr. on the occasion of his retirement from the Trenton Trib, where he 
has served as Editor and Co-Founder for over twelve years. His 
significant contributions and service to our community are worthy of 
commendation.
  Mr. Hoshaw received his Bachelor of Arts in journalism from Wayne 
State University and specializes in publication writing and editing. He 
founded the Trenton Trib in 2009 in response to community concerns 
about the lack of a hometown newspaper. Prior to his work at the 
Trenton Trib, he worked at The News-Herald Newspapers as assistant 
managing editor and founded HPR Media & Promotional Services LLC, where 
he still works today.
  Mr. Hoshaw has continued to provide positive, interesting and 
uplifting articles on behalf of his community, demonstrating the 
importance of neighborhood news. Under his leadership, the Trenton Trib 
has become a multifaceted news organization and has delivered impactful 
information to the citizens of Trenton. From the latest in high school 
sports to breaking development news to highlighting local businesses, 
the Trib could always be counted on to write about the things that our 
neighbors cared about. Along with co-publisher Kathy Kane, they brought 
news to the people of Downriver. The Trenton Trib ceased publication at 
the end of 2021, but their impact on the community will last for years 
to come.
  Mr. Hoshaw is a past president and 11-year member of the Rotary Club 
of Trenton, Michigan. He is also a member of the board of directors for 
the Southern Wayne County Regional Chamber and the Trenton Business 
Association. Mr. Hoshaw is known for his attention to detail and 
tireless enthusiasm for his community. He continues to reside in 
southeastern Michigan with his wife Mary, a retired teacher who taught 
at Lincoln Park Public Schools for nearly thirty years.
  Madam Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in honoring Joe Hoshaw, 
Jr. We are grateful for his years spent at the Trenton Trib, for his 
over four decades of dedication to the journalism in southeastern 
Michigan. I join with Joe's family, friends, and colleagues in 
extending my best wishes to him in retirement.
