                       Thursday, January 9, 2025

  Ms. PETTERSEN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Keith Baker of 
Chaffee County, Colorado for his service to the people of Salida, Buena 
Vista, and Poncha Springs on the Chaffee County Board of County 
Commissioners.
  During his time in office, Commissioner Baker worked to improve the 
lives of residents in his community. He spearheaded Chaffee County 
Common Ground, a program dedicated to preserving agricultural land and 
advancing wildfire protections and helped create the Office of Housing 
to tackle affordable housing and sustainability challenges in the 
county. Commissioner Baker's dedication to Chaffee County is 
commendable, and his presence will be missed.
  On behalf of the people of Colorado's Seventh Congressional District, 
it is my honor to congratulate Commissioner Keith Baker for his service 
on the Chaffee County Board of County Commissioners and sincerely thank 
him for his contributions to the Colorado community. I wish him the 
best of luck in his future endeavors.

                          ____________________
