                        Monday, January 13, 2025

  Mr. CROW. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Commissioner Eva 
Henry. Throughout her years in public service to Adams County, where 
she grew up and raised her family, she worked to improve the lives of 
all Coloradans.
  Commissioner Henry championed several initiatives that elevated the 
state and made Colorado a better place to walk, live, and raise a 
family. As Commissioner, she led efforts to regulate the oil and gas 
industries, protect our environment, and preserve clean air and water. 
Under her leadership, Adams County became the first county in Colorado 
to regulate drilling in 2019, paving the way for other counties to 
follow.
  Commissioner Henry partnered with Caraway to lower housing costs by 
repurposing the former Children and Family Services building for use as 
affordable housing.
  To bolster the local economy, Commissioner Henry worked with 
aerospace companies and supported their moves to the state, further 
enhancing Colorado's aerospace ecosystem, the second-largest aerospace 
economy in the Nation.
  Commissioner Henry's dedication to public service contributed to the 
betterment of Colorado and the well-being of thousands of our state's 
families. I thank Commissioner Eva Henry for her service and 
congratulate her on her retirement after 12 years as Commissioner of 
Adams County and five years as a member of the Thornton City Council.
