minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. MOONEY. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor my good friend 
Delegate Eric Householder as he retires from the West Virginia House of 
Delegates after 14 years of service.
  For the last 2 years, he has served as the house majority leader and 
previously chaired the house finance committee. As a small business 
owner, Eric ran for elected office to fight back against the job-
crushing regulations coming out of Charleston and to reform our tax 
code.
  With the help of Eric's leadership, West Virginians have less 
regulation, lower taxes, and educational freedom. I am proud to bestow 
upon Delegate Householder my Congressional Patriot Award for 
excellence, leadership, volunteerism, and selflessness, virtues without 
which our Republic cannot thrive.
  While his time in the house of delegates has come to an end, I know 
that Delegate Householder is not done serving our State.
  I thank Delegate Householder for his years of service and his 
tireless efforts to improve the lives of West Virginians. I wish him 
all the best in his future endeavors.
