“Mr. GOLDMAN of Texas. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and congratulate the Parker County Chamber of Commerce on the occasion of its 30th anniversary. The Chamber [[Page E166]] was founded with the purpose of promoting business development and economic growth within a budding region of our state. Over the past three decades, it has grown into a thriving organization that exemplifies community leadership, advocacy, and economic expansion. This significant milestone reflects the dedication, perseverance, and service of countless local business owners, leaders, and volunteers who have contributed to the Chamber's enduring success. The Parker County Chamber of Commerce was established through the vision and leadership of Mr. Randy Keck, along with Judge Graham Quisenberry and Mr. Roy Ray. From its humble beginnings--holding potluck meetings in an RV park, acquiring two small-town chamber charters, and building a foundation grounded in a clear understanding of the needs of local businesses--the Chamber experienced immediate and sustained growth. Today, its culture reflects the spirit of Parker County and encourages participation from more than 600 members. This distinctive and inclusive structure draws business owners together and fosters continued engagement throughout the year. Through networking opportunities, civic involvement, ribbon cuttings, and community festivals, the Parker County Chamber of Commerce consistently strengthens both its members and the community it serves. As the Parker County Chamber of Commerce marks this 30-year anniversary, I commend its leadership and members for their lasting contributions to the economic vitality and civic life of Parker County. On behalf of the 12th Congressional District of Texas, I am proud to extend my congratulations to the Parker County Chamber of Commerce on the momentous occasion of its 30th anniversary and offer best wishes for many continued years of success in the Chamber's future. ____________________”

This exceptional achievement is a testament to the discipline, perseverance, and balance these students maintain in their athletic and academic pursuits.

Under the leadership of dedicated coaches and with the steadfast support of their community, these student athletes secured a historic record- breaking season. Their championship win marked an impressive 28th consecutive victory, a milestone that reflects strength and consistency within the program. All Saints players successfully defended their 2024 state championship title, further cementing their legacy of excellence. I am honored to represent these exceptional students and commend them for their achievements both academically and athletically.

“Mr. GOLDMAN of Texas. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize M.L. Leddy's boot shop for being included in the New York Times list of the Top 50 Clothing Stores in the United States. This distinguished honor reflects the dedication and commitment to tradition that has defined M.L. Leddy's legacy for generations. Since 1922, M.L. Leddy's has stood as a symbol of Texas craftsmanship and authenticity. Situated in the heart of the Fort Worth Stockyards, the shop stands as a lasting symbol of the area's Western heritage and strong sense of community. While it's known for its unrivaled custom boots and saddles, M.L. Leddy's also offers western clothing, hats, [[Page E164]] buckles, and accessories. Each piece is crafted with meticulous attention to detail, a time-honored technique inspired by the store's namesake. When M.L. Leddy's first began crafting handmade boots and saddles, he did so with the passion and drive of a young Texan in the 1920s. He and his brothers set out to make the highest quality products while maintaining a deep commitment to customer service. This milestone is a testament to the success of their endeavor. As a forth-generation family business, Leddy's iconic storefront in the Fort Worth Stockyards is much more than a preferred store, but rather shines as a living landmark of Fort Worth History. On behalf of the 12th Congressional District of Texas, I extend my congratulations to M.L. Leddy's on their outstanding achievement and wish them continued success in their future endeavors. ____________________”
