FAREWELL TO REPRESENTATIVE STEVE STIVERS
(Mr. BALDERSON asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 minute.)
Mr. BALDERSON. Mr. Speaker, today I rise to bid farewell to my dear friend, Representative Steve Stivers, as he embarks on a new adventure leading the Ohio Chamber of Commerce.
A career soldier, Steve has served more than 30 years in the Ohio Army National Guard and holds the rank of major general. He served the United States overseas during Operation Iraqi Freedom where he led 400 soldiers and contractors. For his leadership, he was awarded the Bronze Star. In a battle closer to home, Steve served on the front lines in America's fight against the opioid epidemic. Steve was a champion for the cause of civility not just in politics, but in our daily lives and founded the Congressional Civility and Respect Caucus.
Just as Steve has left his mark here in the Halls of Congress and in the lives of so many Americans, I know he will continue to do big things as president and CEO of the Ohio Chamber of Commerce and as a champion for job growth across our State.
