 HONORING MARK SACKETT ON HIS CAMPAIGN TO BE ELECTED TO THE CHAUTAUQUA 
                     COUNTY LEGISLATIVE DISTRICT 4

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. BRIAN HIGGINS

                              of new york

                    in the house of representatives

                      Wednesday, December 7, 2005

  Mr. HIGGINS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Mark Sackett, a 
resident of Chautauqua County for his quest to become the elected 
representative to the fourth legislative district in the Chautauqua 
County Legislature. Although Mr. Sackett was not able to realize his 
dream he has been able to make an impact on other's lives in a 
different way.
  The campaign trail is a difficult path to take. Any person with a 
dream may enter but only a few are able to reach the end. Mr. Sackett 
traveled that path with his head held high and a smile on his face the 
entire way. I have no doubt that his kind demeanor left a lasting 
impression on the voters of district 4.
  Mr. Sackett is a former legislator where he served the people of 
district 4 for many years. Mark is also a very creative man who never 
stops thinking of ways to assist a friend. Many people of Sheridan, New 
York may remember the large gavel that he constructed.
  Chautauqua County is blessed to have such strong candidates with a 
desire to make this county the wonderful place that we all know it can 
be. Mr. Sackett is one of those people and that is why, Mr. Speaker, I 
rise to honor him today.
