  Mr. FITZPATRICK. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize an 
outstanding constituent of my district, Larry Keller. Larry has 
faithfully served the residents of New Hope Borough, Pennsylvania, 
including as Mayor of New Hope, during his many years of dedication to 
public service.
  Mayor Keller has long been a committed civic leader in New Hope, a 
historic river town known for its vibrant small businesses, tourism, 
and strong sense of community. Throughout his time in public service, 
Mayor Keller has worked diligently to preserve the character of the 
borough while supporting responsible growth, public safety, and 
economic vitality.
  As Mayor, Larry Keller placed a strong emphasis on collaboration 
between borough council, local businesses, residents, and public safety 
officials. His leadership reflected a practical, community-first 
approach, focused on maintaining New Hope's unique identity while 
addressing the everyday needs of its residents and visitors alike.
  Under his leadership, New Hope continued to strengthen its position 
as one of Bucks County's most recognizable destinations, balancing 
tourism with quality of life for those who call the borough home. Mayor 
Keller's service exemplified integrity, approachability, and a deep 
respect for local government's role in serving the public.
  After years of dedicated service, Mayor Keller leaves a lasting 
impact on the borough and the people he served. His commitment to 
community engagement and civic responsibility stands as an example of 
how local leadership plays a vital role in strengthening our 
Commonwealth.
  I wish to congratulate Larry Keller on his service to the citizens of 
New Hope Borough and thank him for his dedication to public service and 
to the community he proudly represented.
