                              of kentucky

                    in the house of representatives

                      Thursday, September 15, 2022

  Mr. GUTHRIE. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor the retirement of 
Senator C.B. Embry, Jr. from the Kentucky General Assembly after over 
50 years of service to the Commonwealth of Kentucky.
  From the youngest elected Mayor of Beaver Dam in 1970 to the oldest 
member of the Kentucky State Senate in 2022, Senator Embry has earned 
the trust of his constituents to hold numerous offices, including 
Kentucky State Representative for District 17 and Ohio County Judge-
Executive. A testament to his skills as a legislator, Senator Embry has 
the distinction of five Kentucky Governors signing his sponsored 
legislation into law. This includes a bill he proudly championed to 
give hope to terminally ill patients, who had exhausted all other 
options, by allowing them to try experimental forms of medication with 
at least one round of clinical studies.
  Being renowned for his tireless work, Senator Embry was recognized 
with several accolades, including AARP Kentucky's ``Champion of the 
50+'' lifetime legislative leadership award, the National Guard 
Association of the United States' Patrick Henry Award, and the Kentucky 
Education Association's Friend of Education Award. Earlier in his 
career, he was awarded the Outstanding Young Republican in the Nation 
award by George H.W. Bush in 1975.
  C.B. Embry and his wife Wanda celebrated 60 years of marriage this 
year and together they have 3 children, 4 grandchildren, and 2 great-
grandchildren. Congratulations to Senator Embry on his retirement and I 
thank him for his decades of service to the Commonwealth of Kentucky.
