  Mr. EMMER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor a Minnesota public 
servant. After nearly a decade of service to his community, my friend, 
and St. Michael Mayor. Jerry Zachman is retiring from his post.
  Jerry has deep roots in St. Michael as he is a part of the fifth 
generation of his family to live there and these strong ties to his 
beloved community no doubt inspired Jerry to serve.
  As the community began to grow and develop, his main goal was to 
ensure St. Michael residents were always put first. I think that it's 
safe to say that Jerry did just that.
  During his ten years as mayor, Jerry has made numerous improvements 
to this ever-growing city. One major project Jerry played a huge role 
in is the expansion of the I-94 corridor, which cuts through 
Minnesota's Sixth District.
  I would like to thank Jerry for his unwavering dedication to St. 
Michael and to our great state, and I wish him nothing but the best in 
his future endeavors.
