                      HONORING MAYOR BENNY McGUIRE

                                 ______
                                 

                        HON. STEPHEN LEE FINCHER

                              of tennessee

                    in the house of representatives

                        Friday, November 4, 2011

  Mr. FINCHER. Mr. Speaker, great leaders govern with integrity, 
humility and with generosity to their community. In the Tennessee 
Eighth Congressional District, there is one leader whose efforts have 
been appreciated by his community and acknowledged by his peers. I rise 
today to congratulate the honorable Benny McGuire, as he begins his 
tenure of President over the Association of County Mayors of Tennessee.
  A dedicated public servant, Mayor McGuire has not only contributed 
countless hours to Obion County, but he has set an example for other 
mayors to follow. Serving as the director of the Antioch Cemetery 
Association in Hornbeak, he also works as a chair of the Northwest 
Tennessee Development District and serves as a member on numerous local 
boards and committees. After only two terms as mayor of Obion County, 
he was selected by his peers to be named President of the Association 
of County Mayors of Tennessee, the statewide organization representing 
95 county mayors and executives.
  I value the great work and dedication that individuals like Mayor 
McGuire contribute to the West Tennessee area. I ask my colleagues to 
join me in congratulating Mayor Benny McGuire as he extends his 
dedication and devotion to the people of Obion County as well as all of 
Tennessee.
