                    in the house of representatives

                      Wednesday, February 5, 2025

  Mr. STAUBER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to offer my congratulations to 
an extraordinary citizen from Minnesota's 8th Congressional district. 
After 45 years in the broadcasting business, Jeff Hilborn is retiring.
  Jeff spent the first 22 years of his career in Kansas and South 
Dakota before making the Brainerd Lakes Area his home in 1992. Here in 
Brainerd, Jeff served in several management roles at KLIZ-FM The Power 
Loon before becoming the manager of six radio station groups for 
Hubbard Broadcasting.
  Jeff and his wife Michelle raised their three children in Brainerd 
and have been integral members of their community for the last 32 
years.
  Jeff has dedicated himself to the people of the Brainerd Lakes Area 
by serving on the Board of Directors for the Brainerd Sports Boosters 
and the Sunrise Sertoma Club.
  He also served as a committee member for the Brainerd Lakes Area 
Chamber of Commerce ``Destination Downtown'' initiative and worked on 
the Board of Directors for the Minnesota Broadcasters Association.
  Jeff is retiring but his legacy will not soon be forgotten by those 
who were fortunate enough to work alongside him.
  On behalf of the 8th Congressional District of Minnesota, I would 
like to thank Jeff for his commitment to our community and congratulate 
him on a job well done.
