                    in the house of representatives

                        Monday, November 7, 2022

  Mr. GUTHRIE. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize Warren County 
Judge-Executive Mike Buchanon, who is leaving office after serving 28 
years of public service. Judge Buchanon not only helped Warren County 
grow to the 5th largest county in Kentucky, but has also worked to make 
Warren County a great place to live and work.
  Judge Buchanon led the efforts to establish a new industrial park 
that is now home to over 19 companies that are on track to employ over 
5,000 people by 2025, and he also changed workforce regulations to make 
Warren County more attractive to employers and more favorable for 
employees.
  Another legacy of Judge Buchanon's tenure is the amazing parks and 
recreation facilities that he has developed over the past 28 years. The 
seven major parks and robust programming for sports add to the many 
reasons that Warren County is a wonderful place to call home.
  Like other strong leaders, Judge Buchanon is leaving the county well-
positioned for the future with very capable leadership to succeed him. 
I offer my deepest congratulations and appreciation to Judge Mike 
Buchanon; his wife, Ellen; and the members of the Warren Fiscal Court 
over the past 28 years. It's been my pleasure to call him my friend and 
serve Warren County with him.
