                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. JAMIE RASKIN

                              of maryland

                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, December 12, 2017

  Mr. RASKIN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the great 
contributions that have been rendered to our country and to my home 
state of Maryland by my constituent and wonderful friend, Stanton 
Gildenhorn. I offer these remarks just a few days ahead of Stan's 75th 
birthday next week.
  Stan is a well-known public servant, politico, and television 
personality in our community. He got his start as the youngest staffer 
in President John F. Kennedy's White House and later worked for the 
U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
  Stan earned a J.D. from the George Washington University School of 
Law and worked as an attorney in private practice for many years, 
including in Rockville. He also put his superior legal skills to good 
use to benefit our community by working at non-profit organizations 
like the Montgomery County Humane Society and serving as both the 
Chairman and Counsel for the Montgomery County Democratic Central 
Committee.
  A passionate political thinker and strategist, Stan has managed or 
worked on dozens of campaigns in the last 40 years, at nearly every 
level of government, and chaired the Montgomery County Charter Review 
Commission. He was a fixture on national and local television shows for 
decades, and continues to offer valuable and incisive political 
commentary today.
  I am honored to recognize the important contributions of my 
constituent, Mr. Stanton Gildenhorn today and hope this chamber will 
join me in wishing him a happy 75th birthday.
