            CELEBRATING THE WORK OF TEMPLE MAYOR DANNY DUNN

                                of texas

                    in the house of representatives

                      Wednesday, October 30, 2013

  Mr. CARTER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to celebrate the work of Temple 
Mayor Danny Dunn. This eighth generation Texan honors his home state's 
illustrious past yet looks forward to its even brighter future.
  Founded as a railroad construction camp in the 1880s, Temple quickly 
became home to hospitals, industry, and higher education. Over the 
years, the Temple area became an ideal place for military personnel to 
move to for their retirement.
  A native son of Temple, Danny got his love of public service as a 
young boy attending civic events when others were playing flag 
football. His dreams of becoming Temple's Mayor came true in 2012 and 
he's made the most of his time in office. He's focused his energies on 
building and improving his hometown through strategic growth and 
development, while maintaining Temple's current infrastructure.
  As a licensed Texas real estate broker, Danny knows the importance of 
making sure Temple offers the best of small town living with the best 
of big city amenities. Danny relies on an extensive network of 
community activists, ranging from former mayors, Rotary Club members, 
and faith leaders, to guide him on how to best work for Temple.
  Mayor Danny Dunn is lucky enough to know you don't have to leave home 
to know that's where you belong. I join the people of Temple who are 
glad he's stayed and is working to make his city a great place to live.
