   HONORING REPRESENTATIVE ALLEN McNEILL FOR EXCEPTIONAL SERVICE AND 
                               LEADERSHIP

                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. RICHARD HUDSON

                           of north carolina

                    in the house of representatives

                        Friday, December 2, 2022

  Mr. HUDSON. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor State Representative 
Allen McNeill for approximately 45 years of service to the people of 
Randolph and Moore County. A beloved member of our community, 
Representative McNeill has exhibited the highest level of commitment to 
protecting and serving others.
  Prior to serving in the North Carolina House of Representatives, 
Representative McNeill worked for the Randolph County Sheriff's Office 
for approximately 30 years. His position with the office provided him 
with essential experience in law enforcement and public safety that has 
been integral to his accomplishments in the North Carolina House of 
Representatives. In 2012, Representative McNeill was first elected to 
the District 78 seat representing segments of Randolph and Moore 
County. He has represented this seat to this day and currently serves 
as the chair of the Justice and Public Safety Appropriations Committee 
as well as the vice chairman of the House Appropriations Committee and 
Judiciary 2 Committee. He is also a member of numerous other 
committees, including but not limited to the Election Law and Campaign 
Finance Committee and the Transportation Committee. As representative, 
his legislative initiative has affected essential funding for local 
government and institutional actors to ensure that his constituency is 
equipped with quality security and public safety measures. Perhaps most 
notably, his negotiations achieved indispensable funding that allowed 
Randolph Health to remain open and continue providing healthcare 
services for our community.
  Representative McNeill will retire after his term expires at the end 
of the year. Through his outstanding service and leadership in the law 
enforcement and the North Carolina House of Representatives, he has set 
an exemplary standard for others in public service to emulate. I know I 
speak for all in our community in wishing him well as he begins the 
next chapter of his life.
  Madam Speaker, please join me today in honoring State Representative 
Allen McNeill for his career of commendable servitude to his community.
