                  HONORING THE ELECTION OF JUDY RAMEY

                                 ______
                                 

                        HON. TRAVIS W. CHILDERS

                             of mississippi

                    in the house of representatives

                      Wednesday, February 25, 2009

  Mr. CHILDERS. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize Mrs. Judy 
Ramey; who recently was elected as President of the Commissioners Group 
in Mississippi, which is composed of Commissioners representing all 82 
Counties in my home State of Mississippi. In addition to the office she 
will be taking now, Mrs. Ramey has been the three-term mayor of 
Marietta, a Chief Nursing Officer, and an Assistant Hospital 
Administrator in my hometown of Boonville, in Prentiss County, 
Mississippi.
  Mrs. Ramey has been an active member in the Commissioners Group for 
the past ten years, and in 2008 she acted as the Group's Vice-
President. In that time she earned the respect of her coworkers. Her 
colleagues had such faith in her leadership that she was unanimously 
voted into her position. I am confident that her hard work will be to 
the benefit of the people in Mississippi. I would like to take this 
time to thank her for her public service, and commend her for the 
example that she is giving for others.

                          ____________________
