                           HON. DEBBIE LESKO

                    in the house of representatives

                      Tuesday, September 24, 2024

  Mrs. LESKO. Mr. Speaker, on behalf of Arizona's 8th Congressional 
District, I would like to recognize the mayor of Glendale, Arizona, 
Jerry Weiers.
  Originally born in South Dakota, Mayor Weiers moved to Phoenix as a 
child where he went on to serve in the Arizona House of Representatives 
before becoming mayor of Glendale in 2012. Outside of public service, 
Mayor Weiers was also a proud small-business owner and family man.
  During his time in both the state legislature and as mayor of 
Glendale, Mayor Weiers has been a strong advocate for the military and 
veterans, reduced bureaucratic red tape, and created conditions for 
small businesses to thrive. As mayor, he has created a thriving 
business-sector through public-private partnerships, increased public 
safety, worked toward reducing homelessness, and been a strong advocate 
for Luke Air Force Base and Glendale's veterans.
  His successes in public service have left a lasting impact on both 
the Glendale community and the state of Arizona as a whole. I thank him 
for his service.
