                            HON. JAMES COMER

                    in the house of representatives

                       Monday, December 11, 2023

  Mr. COMER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Graves County of the 
First District of Kentucky for the groundbreaking of their new 
courthouse.
  The former Graves County courthouse was tragically destroyed by the 
tornado that hit western Kentucky on December 10, 2021. I commend them 
as they continue to rebuild while preserving a sense of history and 
tradition. Their perseverance and bravery are second to none.
  Graves County has a rich history and unwavering commitment to its 
future development. With loyal, hardworking locals and a town full of 
character, Graves County is a prime example of the values that our 
state and country stand for. I am honored to represent them in 
Congress.
  I join with the community of Graves County in celebrating the 
rebuilding of their cherished courthouse. May it continue to be the 
centerpiece of Mayfield, bringing new traditions and a sense of pride.
