            HONORING THE PATRIOTIC SERVICE OF CHAD ANDERSON

                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. PAT FALLON

                                of texas

                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, May 18, 2022

  Mr. FALLON. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor Chad Anderson for 
his patriotic service to the City of Celina, Texas. As a City 
Councilman in Place 6, Chad served the City of Celina for three terms. 
The City of Celina sits just North of Dallas and has been a focal point 
of growth in the North Texas region for several years. Since 2010 the 
population of Celina has tripled, out pacing any other North Texas 
city. As a Councilman, Chad managed this explosive growth and ensured 
that the City was ready to take on new community members and new 
businesses.
  One of his key policy priorities was the development of Celina's 
infrastructure. New roads, bridges, proper drainage, and public safety 
structures all bear the mark of Chad's thoughtfulness as a City 
Councilman. During his time in office, he never forgot about the heroes 
among us--law enforcement, firefighters, EMS, and all frontline 
workers. He ensured that the City kept its law enforcement funding when 
many cities throughout the country sought to defund. When firefighters 
needed modernized facilities and funding, Chad was their No. 1 ally.
  In his 19 years in Celina, Chad has become a pillar of his community 
and, though he is no longer a City Councilman, will continue to be a 
servant leader who seeks to lift up everyone in his City. The 
foundation for all his service is, without a doubt, his wife Michele, 
and their two children, CJ and Molly.
  Outside of his official work, Chad became the proprietor of his own 
insurance company in 2010 which gave him personal experience and 
insight into small business development and growth. He has also 
championed the Celina Cajun Fest, Oktoberfest and coached youth sports.
  I have requested the United States flag be flown over our Nation's 
Capitol to recognize Chad Anderson's patriotism and devotion to God, 
Family, and Country. Furthermore, Madam Speaker, I would like to 
personally commend Mr. Anderson for his service to the City of Celina 
as a Councilman and I wish him all the best in his future endeavors.
