  Mr. AUSTRIA. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Ms. Judy Shupe, a 
long time Commissioner of Fairfield County, Ohio. After twenty 
exemplary years of service, Commissioner Shupe will be retiring at the 
end of this year. Commissioner Shupe first took office on January 2, 
1993 and is now serving out the remainder of her fifth term as 
Commissioner.
  Commissioner Shupe has always expressed a passion for public service. 
Before becoming a Commissioner she served as Clerk of Madison Township 
where she spent 13 years.
  Commissioner Shupe has given her time and dedication to Fairfield 
County by attending workshops and seminars. These events have given her 
the knowledge and expertise to better understand the needs of the 
residents of Fairfield County. Judy has also been a member of the 
County Commissioners Association

of Ohio which has strengthened her ability to effectively and 
successfully serve all of Fairfield County.
  Commissioner Shupe serves on various committees including the 
Workforce Investment Area; Resource Conservation and Development; 
Prevention Works for a Drug Free Fairfield County; OSU Extension 
Advisory Committee; Geographic Information System Committee; Revolving 
Loan Funding Committee; Tax Incentive Review Council; and the Multi-
County Juvenile Detention Center Board of Trustees and Board of 
Directors.
  Thus, today I ask my colleagues to join me and the constituents of 
Ohio's Seventh Congressional District to recognize the service and 
dedication of Commissioner Judy Shupe.
