                       CONGRATULATING TIM HAWKINS

                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. LUKE MESSER

                               of indiana

                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, March 17, 2016

  Mr. MESSER. Mr. Speaker, I rise to congratulate a longtime member of 
my staff, Tim Hawkins, on his new position as Government Relations 
Administrator with the State of Indiana's Office of Medicaid Policy and 
Planning.
  Tim is a dedicated public servant who has worked diligently on behalf 
of the people of the 6th District. Tim has been on our team from the 
very beginning and helped set up our district operations when I was 
first elected to Congress. During his time as a Congressional staffer, 
Tim has helped countless individuals navigate the complex federal 
bureaucracy and receive the help they need. He was instrumental in 
developing the Lawrenceburg job fair and continuing the long tradition 
of the Muncie job fair. These events have connected hundreds of people 
to employers and have helped many of our constituents find jobs.
  Tim has always been a fun member of our team--from his affinity for 
bow ties and all things IU to his legendary hair styles. He is a 
pleasure to work with and was always ready to lend a helping hand. 
Although I will miss having Tim on my staff, I know the State of 
Indiana has gained an excellent public servant.
  I ask the entire 6th Congressional District to join me in 
congratulating Tim Hawkins as he begins the next chapter in his career 
of public service. I know he will bring the same devotion and 
enthusiasm that he has shown as part of my staff to his new position 
with the State of Indiana.
