                      Thursday, September 29, 2022

  Mr. PENCE. Madam Speaker, I rise today to commend my hometown of 
Columbus on being named 2022 Indiana Community of the Year.
  A town of 50,000, our flourishing manufacturing and agriculture 
industry community is home to some of the top automotive, electronics 
and aerospace development.
  From Cummins Engine Company to Columbus Regional Health, Ivy Tech and 
Hoosier Transport--our Midwest city is the epitome of Hoosier 
hospitality.
  I am proud to say that to this day and all my life, I am a Columbus 
resident. While I may be biased, I believe it is one of the communities 
that makes Indiana's Sixth Congressional District so great.
  Much of this can be contributed to the leadership of the city and 
county, and especially Mayor Lienhoop.
  Congratulations to Columbus on being named 2022 Indiana Community of 
The Year.
