                        Tuesday, April 30, 2024

  Mr. BURGESS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Daniel H. 
Jaworski as his term-limited years of service as Mayor and Member of 
the Highland Village City Council concludes. Mr. Jaworski was elected 
Mayor of Highland Village in May of 2022 after having served on the 
City Council for five years, becoming the first person raised in 
Highland Village to be elected to the Council and as Mayor. He won his 
seat on the Highland Village Council after having served on the 
Planning and Zoning Commission from 2014 to 2017, as well as serving on 
the Zoning Board of Adjustment and serving as Vice Chairman of the 
Highland Village Fire Department Service Level Task Force from 2015 to 
2016.
  Mayor Jaworski was raised in Highland Village and attended Marcus 
High School from 1985 to 1989 and was a member of the second graduating 
class at Marcus High School. In 2022, Mayor Jaworski was inducted into 
the Marcus High School Ball of Fame. After graduation, Mayor Jaworski 
enlisted in the United States Navy as a linguist and intelligence 
collection analyst and served from 1993 to 2000. By the end of his 
Naval career, he was responsible for all signals intelligence reporting 
in the Western Hemisphere. Since retiring from the Navy, Mayor Jaworski 
has enjoyed a 23-year career in corporate cyber security, currently 
managing the threat and vulnerability management team for Caterpillar.

  Mayor Jaworski and his wife, Gretchen, have been residents of 
Highland Village since 2013 and are the proud parents of three 
children. Their oldest son followed in his father's footsteps and 
currently serves in the United States Navy and is stationed at Andrews 
Air Force Base in Maryland. Their youngest son is a graduating senior 
at Marcus High School and their daughter is a seventh grader at 
Briarhill Middle School in Highland Village and plays softball in the 
Highland Village Baseball and Softball Association.
  Beyond his work and involvement with the City of Highland Village, 
Mayor Jaworski and his wife are deeply engaged in their community, 
running Marauder 17, a non-profit organization the Jaworski's 
established to provide annual scholarships to student athletes and 
student trainers.
  As Mayor Jaworski concludes his term, his public service has made an 
indelible mask on the community. Through his efforts as Mayor, as well 
as his service on Council and various municipal committees, Highland 
Village residents enjoy a better quality of life, benefiting from safer 
City roads and a more reliable and updated City water and sewer system; 
and during his tenure, the city upgraded the park system showcasing 
rebuilt playground areas, and a city trail system that has been 
improved with benches, chairs, and trash receptacles. As Highland 
Village turns 60, Mayor Jaworski is also leaving the successive Mayor 
and Council leaders with a completed and approved Comprehensive Plan, 
so that they are prepared to guide Highland Village and its residents 
for the next decade and beyond.
  On behalf of the City of Highland Village and the residents of the 
26th District of Texas, I appreciate his outstanding contributions to 
the quality of life we enjoy here in North Texas, and I wish Dan and 
the entire Jaworski family my best. I look forward to their continued 
engagement and the future contributions I am certain will follow.
