                    in the house of representatives

                        Monday, December 1, 2025

  Mr. PERRY. Mr. Speaker, I am proud to recognize Jonathan D. Holmes, 
Chairman of the Jackson Township Board of Supervisors, for his many 
years of service to Jackson Township, York County, Pennsylvania.
  Jon has dedicated his life to serving the great People of Jackson 
Township. He began in 1990 after being appointed as an alternate to the 
Township Zoning Hearing Board, where he served for almost two years. In 
1992, he became a full member of the Zoning Hearing Board. In April 
2003, he was appointed to the Township Board of Supervisors to fulfill 
another member's term, and became Chairman of the Board in 2005, where 
he has served for nearly 21 years.
  Jon's career as a Civil Engineer has benefited the Township greatly. 
As a graduate of Penn State's Engineering program, he always understood 
the Township's infrastructure needs and made efforts to improve the 
quality of life for all residents. Under his leadership, he took the 
Township's Public Works Department to the next level. The Township 
implemented a roadway improvement program that funded proper paving 
versus tar and chip, thus improving the safety and durability of town 
roads. He also improved the equipment in the Department, giving town 
employees the necessary tools to keep things running.
  Jon led the Board during the purchase of land titled for Little Creek 
Community Park, the Township's first park. Today, the park includes a 
nine-hole golf course, walking trails, playground equipment, and a 
pavilion; it's a heavily used community center and loved by residents 
and non-residents alike, yet another tangible example of how Jon's 
leadership impacted the communities in and outside of Jackson Township.
  Jon's leadership was recognized not only by residents, but by other 
leaders in Pennsylvania. He was honored by the Pennsylvania State 
Association of Township Supervisors and inducted into its Hall of Fame 
in 2025, which speaks broadly to his leadership abilities and legacy.
  Mr. Speaker, I am honored and privileged to recognize Chairman 
Jonathan Holmes for his selfless, tireless, and dedicated service to 
the Citizens of Jackson Township, York County, Pennsylvania. His 
leadership, professionalism, and fidelity will be greatly missed, and 
his service sets the standard for all to be judged.
