      RECOGNIZING THE INCREDIBLE PUBLIC SERVICE OF MR. GREG PORTER

                                  _____

                    in the house of representatives

                         Monday, July 15, 2024

  Ms. CROCKETT. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Mr. Greg Porter, 
City Manager for the City of Cedar Hill, TX in my District. Mr. Porter 
assumed this role in January 2015 and has steadfastly served since 
then. While he has played a key role in putting Cedar Hill on the map 
and driving the growth of this rapidly developing City, it is important 
to acknowledge that Mr. Porter strayed away from his core of being a 
servant.
  Mr. Porter began his career with the City of Cedar Hill as an intern 
in 1987 and has dedicated the entirety of his 37-year career to the 
city. I have had the privilege of witnessing firsthand his unwavering 
dedication to our neighbors and his unwavering commitment to building 
community. Serving in roles with the city's planning, parks & 
recreation, human resources, economic development, public safety, 
animal control, emergency management, utilities, and public works 
departments, it's safe to say that Mr. Porter is well-versed with the 
ins and outs of the city.
  Although Mr. Porter is set to retire from the city at the end of this 
month, I am confident that he will never cease to be the epitome of a 
true public servant. Because of him, I know that our communities across 
Cedar Hill have grown stronger, and many will continue to benefit from 
his leadership, impact, and foundation of service that he laid. 
Congratulations to Mr. Greg Porter on a job well done.
