  HONORING LORI CORNELL FOR HER CAMPAIGN TO BECOME CHAUTAUQUA COUNTY 
                                 CLERK

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. BRIAN HIGGINS

                              of new york

                    in the house of representatives

                      Thursday, December 15, 2005

  Mr. HIGGINS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Lori Cornell, a 
resident of Chautauqua County for her quest to become the Chautauqua 
County Clerk.
  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. Ms. Cornell 
traveled that path with her head held high and a smile on her face the 
entire way. I have no doubt that her kind demeanor left a lasting 
impression on the voters of Chautauqua County.
  Lori is one of those people that leave a huge impact on her 
community. For many years, both as a candidate or as the District 
Director for Assemblyman Bill Parment, her efforts to better Chautauqua 
County have left a lasting impression not only on the county itself but 
on its residents. Her face, voice, opinions and successes were and 
still are a staple in Chautauqua County. Our county and our residents 
are better for the undying work and issues that Ms. Cornell uncovered 
during her campaign.
  A true testimony to Lori can be found in many areas of the county and 
in many people whose lives she touched. One doesn't have to look far to 
see what a strong work ethic can do. Her campaign was full of energy 
and enthusiasm. I have no doubt that good things are still to come from 
Lori, she is a truly dedicated and determined person.
  Chautauqua County is blessed to have such strong individuals with a 
desire to make this county the wonderful place that we all know it can 
be. Lori is one of those people and that is why, Mr. Speaker, I rise to 
honor her today.
