                            HON. ILHAN OMAR

                    in the house of representatives

                        Tuesday, March 15, 2022

  Ms. OMAR. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor the 42+ year career of 
Hennepin County Civil Servant Jeffrey Strand.
  Public service is a noble and tireless pursuit aimed at improving the 
lives of your neighbors and community. Jeff is a testament to that 
pursuit.
  Jeff is retiring after 42+ years of dedicated service to our shared 
constituents of Hennepin County. His admirable public service will 
leave a legacy of vast knowledge, leadership, and kindness for the 
County's employees and constituents alike. We can only hope that our 
local, county, state, and federal governments fill their ranks with 
such dedicated servants like Jeff.
  Jeff should be proud of the service he has provided to Hennepin 
County and I wish him the very best for the next phase of his life. 
Hennepin County is a better place because of his efforts and I know his 
fellow Hennepin County colleagues will cherish the memories of serving 
with him.
  Madam Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in recognizing and 
thanking Jeffrey Strand for his hard work on behalf of Hennepin County, 
and to wish him well for his well-deserved retirement.

                          ____________________
