  Ms. KUSTER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and honor the 26 
years of dedicated service of Concord's recently retired mayor and my 
dear friend, James Bouley.
  Over the course of his decades of public service, Jim led with the 
vision and commitment necessary to transform New Hampshire's Capital 
City into the thriving and energetic community we enjoy today.
  Over thousands of meetings, events, and hours of hard work, Jim 
effectively created meaningful change throughout the city. Under Jim's 
leadership, extensive improvements were made to Concord's Main Street. 
He revitalized downtown Concord and spearheaded renovations that made 
Main Street accessible for all, true to the spirit of New Hampshire. He 
worked to improve city facilities and oversaw the rebuilding of 
numerous community landmarks, such as the public library and Horseshoe 
Pond area.
  Mayor Bouley is the definition of a true public servant. Known as a 
consensus-builder, Jim strove to ensure that all residents of Concord 
felt their views and values were heard and honored. On behalf of my 
constituents across New Hampshire's Second Congressional District, I 
thank Jim for his years of dedicated service and tireless commitment to

making Concord, the Capital Area, and New Hampshire a wonderful place 
to live, work, and raise a family. Jim's leadership, dedication, and 
professionalism have left a lasting legacy.
  My best wishes to Jim and his family in all their future endeavors.
