[Congressional Record Volume 166, Number 197 (Thursday, November 19, 2020)] [Extensions of Remarks] [Page E1056] From the Congressional Record Online through the Government Publishing Office [www.gpo.gov] IN HONOR OF PRECINCT 1 COMMISSIONER MICHAEL ``MIKE'' MEADOR ______ HON. KEVIN BRADY of texas in the house of representatives Thursday, November 19, 2020 Mr. BRADY. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize Michael ``Mike'' Lloyd Meador for his honorable 28 years of public service as Precinct 1 Commissioner in Montgomery County. The Meador family roots in Montgomery County extend back over 100 years, and Mike has carried on the family legacy with his leadership and integrity. Mike was born to W.L. and Poodle Meador in Willis, Texas, and graduated from Willis High School. Staying near his roots, he went on to earn a degree in Accounting from Sam Houston State University in Huntsville, Texas. Always a dedicated member of his community, Mike has served as Montgomery County Commissioner of Precinct 1 since January of 1993. In fact, in December of 2019, Mike was recognized as the longest-serving commissioner in the history of the county. After 28 years in service, Mike announced he will be stepping down from this position in January of 2021. Mike's time in public service has been as accomplished as it has been lengthy, and his exceptional management has helped attract commercial and industrial businesses to the precinct. Under Mike's leadership, several successful developments have been established; two community centers, multiple Justice of the Peace and Constable buildings, 17 baseball fields, and the acquisition of a grant to build a recycling center. Mike's tenure has been defined by honesty, integrity, and humility. He's always prided himself on maintaining an open line of communication with constituents, and remained constantly engaged with those he serves. It's no wonder he was named ``Elected Official of the Year,'' by the Lake Conroe Rotary Club. Mike's involvement in our community extends well beyond his role as commissioner--he is a member of First Baptist Church of Conroe, a lifetime member of both the Montgomery County Fair Association and Friends of Conroe, a member of the Montgomery County Historical Society and an active participant in the Lake Conroe Chamber of Commerce. Mike's commitment to his community is matched only by his commitment to his family. He and his wife of 50 years, Janie Houser Meador, have three children and nine wonderful grandchildren. I join them all in thanking him for his exceptional service to Montgomery County. Our community has been blessed to have Mike, and I wish him all the best as he embarks on his next endeavor. ____________________
