                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, July 20, 2023

  Mr. LANGWORTHY. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Brenda Rigby 
Riehle for her over 31 years of service to the residents of Allegany 
County. Back in my district, Allegany County is holding its 178th 
County Fair, and keeping with tradition, the County Legislature has 
moved its meeting to the Fair's main stage to recognize members of the 
community for their good work. I am proud to join them from the Halls 
of Congress to recognize Allegany County Legislative Clerk Brenda Rigby 
Riehle for her many years of dedicated service and continued work on 
behalf of the good people of this community.
  Ms. Riehle is an example of good public service, and for over 3 
decades she has helped keep the trains running on time in Allegany 
County. She is well respected by her colleagues, and as a testament to 
her longevity and success has served through the tenure of 6 Board 
Chairmen to date. She has gone beyond the normal duty of her station to 
represent interests of Allegany County by serving as both a Delegate 
and Resolutions Committee Co-Chair of the Inter-County Association of 
Western New York for 18 years. Ms. Riehle is a current member and 
former President and Treasurer of the New York State Association of 
Clerks and County Legislative Boards. For the last 6 years, she has 
served on the New York State Association of Counties Standing Committee 
on Intergovernmental Affairs.
  Active in the community, Ms. Riehle is a proud member of the 
Wellsville Area Professional Businesswomen: a non-profit organization 
that provides scholarships to local graduates and support to local 
county organizations. A mother to 6, and grandmother to 10, she is an 
active, 15-year member of the Genesis Bible Church. I am pleased to 
join the Allegany County Legislature and community in recognizing 
Brenda Rigby Riehle for her years of service and dedication to the 
community.
