     HONORING NEW BALTIMORE 2026 CITIZEN OF THE YEAR JOHN J. DAILEY

                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. LISA C. McCLAIN

                              of michigan

                    in the house of representatives

                       Thursday, August 20, 2026

  Mrs. McCLAIN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize John J. Dailey, 
a longtime New Baltimore resident and the City of New Baltimore's 2026 
Citizen of the Year.
  For more than five decades, John has dedicated his time and talents 
to strengthening the communities he calls home. As a professional 
community planner, he has helped Macomb County plan for the future and 
grow, working with local governments, businesses, and residents on 
planning, zoning, and community development.
  However, John's commitment to service extends well beyond his 
professional career. He has spent decades giving back to New Baltimore, 
serving on the Planning Commission, the Board of Review, and the Board 
of Zoning Appeals. He has also supported organizations throughout the 
community and has spent nearly 30 years coaching softball at Regina 
High School.
  John's dedication to New Baltimore and his willingness to give his 
time, experience, and energy to others are exactly what make a 
community strong. His recognition as Citizen of the Year is a fitting 
tribute to a lifetime of public service.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in congratulating John J. 
Dailey on being named New Baltimore's 2026 Citizen of the Year and in 
thanking him for all he has done for the community he is proud to call 
home.
