                        Friday, December 2, 2022

  Mr. AUSTIN SCOTT of Georgia. Madam Speaker, I rise today to celebrate 
the career of my good friend, Chairman Tommy Stalnaker, who is retiring 
after 50 years of service to Houston County, Georgia.
  Mr. Stalnaker began his public service in 1972 and worked in various 
local government positions for 38 years until he was elected as 
chairman of the Houston County Board of Commissioners in 2010. Mr. 
Stalnaker started serving as Houston County's Chief Elected Official 
the following year and served three consecutive terms as chairman for 
12 years.
  During his tenure, Mr. Stalnaker was a champion for developing 
Houston County into the thriving community it is today and supporting 
the mission at Robins Air Force Base. While in office, he served on the 
Governing Council of the Middle Georgia Regional Commission and the 
Central Georgia Joint Development Authority.
  Mr. Stalnaker worked for and with 30 Houston County Commissioners 
during his extensive career and is proud to see Houston County in 
positive financial standing with no debt.
  I am honored to have the privilege of representing outstanding 
Georgians and servant leaders like Chairman Stalnaker. I thank him for 
his many years of service to our community, and I wish him the best in 
his well deserved retirement.
