PAYING TRIBUTE TO BRAD YOUNG
______
HON. SCOTT McINNIS
of colorado
in the house of representatives
Wednesday, April 21, 2004
Mr. McINNIS. Mr. Speaker, I would like to take this opportunity and pay tribute to Brad Young and thank him for his commitment to public service as a four-term member of the Colorado House of Representatives. Brad will always be remembered for the leadership and guidance he has provided, and as he celebrates his retirement, let it be known that he leaves behind a great legacy in the Colorado General Assembly and for the people of Colorado.
Raised in Lamar, Colorado, Brad received his bachelor's and master's degree in agricultural engineering from Colorado State University. This academic background served Brad well in representing Baca, Bent, Huerfano, Las Animas, Otero, and Prowers counties in the 64th District, where agriculture and water issues are so vital. His work in the General Assembly also has included sponsoring the Habitat Partnership program, the Rural Doctor Tax Credit, Workers Comp Education by Community Colleges, and Aquaculture regulation by the Department of Agriculture. Brad's leadership and dedication in the State House earned him the important chairmanships of the Appropriations and Joint Budget Committees, and he is a former member of the Education and Transportation Committees.
Mr. Speaker, I am honored to pay tribute before this body of Congress and this nation to State Representative Brad Young for his selfless efforts of public service during his tenure in the Colorado House of Representatives. The level of integrity and honesty Brad has displayed while serving his district and the people of Colorado has earned the respect and admiration of his peers. I would like to extend my congratulations to Brad on his retirement and wish him, his wife Rebecca, and his two daughters Cassandra and Laura all the best in their future endeavors.
