                         HONORING BRENDA ALLEN

  (Mr. COMER asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. COMER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the life of Brenda 
Allen of Campbellsville, Kentucky.
  Mrs. Allen served as the mayor of Campbellsville for three terms, 
dedicating her life to bettering her community and serving all who 
called Campbellsville home.
  Mayor Allen was a lifelong resident of Campbellsville and spent years 
before her time in public office as an active community leader and 
volunteer. She was the recipient of numerous awards and honors due to 
her many years of service to her community.
  She served as city clerk for 4 years before being elected the first 
female mayor of Campbellsville. Over the years, I had the privilege of 
getting to know Mayor Allen very well. Her endless pride for 
Campbellsville and dedication to improving the lives of her city's 
citizens never wavered.
  Campbellsville and Kentucky's First Congressional District have lost 
a great leader and public servant. Mayor Allen's life and her time in 
office were marked by numerous accomplishments, and her legacy will be 
felt for many years to come.
  On behalf of the First Congressional District of Kentucky, I send my 
condolences to Mayor Allen's family and friends during this difficult 
time.
