      PAYING TRIBUTE TO THE LATE STATE REPRESENTATIVE KRIS JORDAN

  (Mr. BALDERSON asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. BALDERSON. Madam Speaker, today, I rise to pay tribute to the 
late State representative, Kris Jordan of Delaware County, who passed 
away unexpectedly this weekend.
  Kris and I both entered the Ohio House of Representatives--in the 
minority--on the same day in 2009. Kris and I both moved over to the 
Ohio Senate in 2011, where he would eventually serve as my vice 
chairman on the Ohio Senate Energy and Public Utilities Committee.
  Kris will be remembered as a public servant of strong convictions. He 
was also a relentless campaigner, going door-to-door year-round, even 
when he was uncontested. This earned him the respect and admiration of 
a loyal following in Delaware County, a community he served faithfully 
in various roles for virtually all of his adult life.
  Our prayers continue to be with the many loved ones that Kris leaves 
behind, including his three young children, Macy, David, and Everly.
