                                 ______
                                 

                        HON. BRITTANY PETTERSEN

                    in the house of representatives

                       Thursday, January 9, 2025

  Ms. PETTERSEN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Tracy Kraft-
Tharp of Jefferson County, Colorado for her service as a Jefferson 
County Commissioner.
  Commissioner Kraft-Tharp's commitment to working across the aisle to 
find bipartisan solutions for the benefit of Colorado is truly 
remarkable. She dedicated her career to serving others, first as a 
public school teacher and then as a social worker at the Tennyson 
Center for Children. After seven years as a Colorado State 
Representative, she was elected to serve as a County Commissioner. 
Tracy used her experience as a small business owner to champion 
policies that help businesses and nonprofits in her community, 
including mentoring executive directors and expanding access to mental 
health services. Her dedication to improving the lives of every 
Coloradan is commendable, and her presence will be greatly missed.
  On behalf of the people of Colorado's Seventh Congressional District, 
it is my honor to congratulate Commissioner Tracy Kraft-Tharp for her 
time with the Jefferson County Board of County Commissioners and 
sincerely thank her for her contributions to the Colorado community. I 
wish her the best of luck in her future endeavors.
