  Mr. BURGESS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Representative 
Mary Denny for her service in the Texas House of Representatives.
  Representative Denny has played an intricate part in the development 
of the Republican Party in Denton and the North Texas region over the 
past 20 years. She has helped in over 300 State, Local and National 
elections in her career and has represented Denton County in both State 
and National Republican conventions.
  As a local businesswoman and former teacher, she graduated from the 
University of North Texas with a bachelor's degree in Education. She is 
presently serving her 6th term as State Representative for the 63rd 
district in Texas. Currently Mrs. Denny is assigned to several House 
Committees including; Chairman of Elections, House Criminal 
Jurisprudence, House Administration committee, and the Select Committee 
on Ethics.
  Throughout her amazing career Mrs. Denny has received several awards 
recognizing her achievements as both a businesswoman and a legislator. 
She has been recognized for the past four consecutive terms as a Leader 
of Excellence by the Free Enterprise Committee, a special honor given 
to the top ten percent of conservative legislators. She has also been 
recognized as a Friend to the Taxpayer and honored as an Outstanding 
Legislator by the American Family Association of Texas.
  Mr. Speaker, it has been my distinguished honor to work alongside 
Mrs. Mary Denny for the improvement and development of Denton, Texas. 
Her leadership and commitment to the citizens of Denton County is 
remarkable and it has been a privilege to know such a dedicated 
individual.
