                           HON. ALAN GRAYSON

                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, July 23, 2014

  Mr. GRAYSON. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in honor of Lesbian, Gay, 
Bisexual, and Transgender (LGBT) Pride Month, to recognize Chris 
McCullion. Since 2000, Chris has served in various positions in local 
government, finance, and economic development. Chris was appointed 
Orlando City Treasurer by Mayor Buddy Dyer in 2008.
  Chris does his part to support causes that further the goal of 
equality for all people. He has worked with leaders in City government 
to advocate for policy changes that would improve the City of Orlando's 
already strong rating in the Human Rights Campaign's (HRC) Municipal 
Equality Index. The Index examines the laws, policies, and services of 
municipalities across the country and rates them on the basis of their 
inclusivity of the LGBT community.
  Chris has also been a member of HRC's Federal Club and has supported 
LGBT and LGBT-friendly candidates for elected office. Chris is proud to 
have played a part in electing Central Florida representatives who 
support the LGBT community at the local, state, and national levels.
  Chris serves on the boards of directors for the Orlando Federal 
Credit Union and the Sunshine State Governmental Financing Commission. 
He is a member of the Florida League of Cities Finance, Taxation and 
Personnel Committee and the Florida League of Cities Investment 
Advisory Committee. He holds a master's in business administration and 
bachelor's degrees in finance and political science, from the 
University of Florida.
  I am happy to honor Chris McCullion, during LGBT Pride Month, for his 
work to secure equality for LGBT community in Central Florida.
