Mr. CROW. Mr Speaker, I rise today to recognize Adams County
Commissioner Charles ``Chaz'' Tedesco for his service to Colorado.
Commissioner Tedesco began his service by serving in the U.S. Navy, and
as President of the United Steelworkers Union.
Commissioner Tedesco supported several initiatives to help vulnerable
youth during his term, including Homes for Hope, a program for youth in
emergency foster care in Adams County. He also served as Vice-Chair of
the Former Foster Care Youth Steering Committee for the State of
Colorado.
Commissioner Tedesco is a member of diverse boards and committees as
he serves Adams County residents and all Coloradans, including the E-
470 Authority, Airport Coordinating Committee, Aurora Economic
Development Board of Directors, Veterans Advisory Commission,
Aerotropolis Regional Transit Authority, Hispanic Chamber of Commerce,
Colorado Counties, Inc., County & Commissioners Acting Together, Child
Welfare Allocation Committee, Metro Area County Commissioners, and
National Association of Counties.
Commissioner Tedesco has been a consistent advocate for veterans and
a voice for funding state and federal veterans' programs. He was
integral in the formation of the Veterans Advisory Commission which
seeks to address and work cooperatively with other county boards,
councils, and staff regarding veterans' interests.
I thank Commissioner Tedesco for his service to our community as the
Commissioner for District 2 on the Adams County Board of Commissioners.
