                    in the house of representatives

                       Thursday, February 4, 2016

  Mr. YODER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate my good friend 
Ronnie Metsker for his appointment to serve the State of Kansas as 
Johnson County Election Commissioner.
  Ronnie is honest, trustworthy, sincere, and a true gentleman.
  He served with me as a member of the Kansas State House of 
Representatives from 2006 to 2009.
  He's been a long-time member of both the Overland Park and Northeast 
Johnson County Chambers of Commerce, as well as on the Shawnee Mission 
Rotary Board of Directors, working to bring more jobs and better 
paychecks to the community.
  He's fought for the best education for our children and future 
generations on the Shawnee Mission School District Committee for 
Excellence.
  But most of all, he is my friend.
  I want to thank Ronnie for making Johnson County a better place over 
the course of decades of hard work on behalf of the community.
  I should also mention Ronnie's wife, Susan, is a member of my 
district staff. Together these two make a great team and much have 
dedicated their lives to public service.
  There is no better person to ensure the integrity of the elections in 
our county.
  Mr. Speaker, on behalf of this great body, I send heartfelt 
congratulations to Commissioner Metsker.
