                       Thursday, January 16, 2014

  Mrs. MILLER of Michigan. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Linda 
Kozfkay for 23 years of distinguished and honorable service as the 
Sanilac County Clerk.
  Linda began her career as the Chief Deputy Clerk of Sanilac County in 
1981 and was appointed county clerk in 1990 following the retirement of 
her predecessor.
  During her time as clerk, Linda Kozfkay earned the respect and 
admiration of everyone in Sanilac County due to her incredible 
commitment to the people she served. In fact, she was reelected six 
times and became the longest serving county clerk in Sanilac County 
history.
  Linda also earned the respect of her peers across the entire State of 
Michigan for her dedication to her important work. I had the honor 
during my time as Michigan's Secretary of State to work closely with 
Linda as we developed our State's Qualified Voter File, which due to 
the hard work of her and others, Michigan became a national model for 
how to ensure free, open, fair, and accurate elections.
  On December 27, 2013, Linda decided it was time to enter a new phase 
in her life and retired as county clerk. I wish Linda nothing but the 
best in her retirement and I know everyone in Sanilac County joins me 
in thanking her for 23 years of tremendous service as county clerk and 
32 years of honorable public service.
