                    in the house of representatives

                        Friday, August 12, 2022

  Ms. MOORE of Wisconsin. Madam Speaker, I rise today in memoriam of 
Frank Hoadley, a longtime resident of Lodi, WI, and legend in public 
finance circles.
  Frank served the State of Wisconsin from 1988 to 2013 as the Capital 
Finance Director under 4 Democratic and Republican governors. His 
dedication to a strong, robust capital finance program ensured that our 
state was on solid fiscal standing and able to serve the citizens of 
Wisconsin through the construction and maintenance of important public 
facilities and infrastructure projects.
  Wisconsin benefited enormously from Mr. Hoadley's exemplary 
stewardship of public finances, but so did the entire public finance 
community as Frank led numerous industry efforts to enhance market 
practices and disclosure standards as a member and Chairman of the 
Government Finance Officers Association's Debt Management Committee. He 
also contributed mightily over the years to initiatives at the National 
Association of State Treasurers' State Debt Management Network, and the 
Council for Infrastructure Financing Authorities.
  I had the pleasure of working with Frank on numerous occasions 
through the years on projects to strengthen the municipal bond market, 
such as maintaining the tax-exemption of municipal bonds, Dodd-Frank 
municipal advisor rules and regulations, and various other key public 
finance issues where congressional actions could help states 
responsibly finance public works projects. He truly did enrich 
communities throughout the country, including Milwaukee, with his 
generosity of knowledge and dedication to public service.
  While Frank was not a native son of Wisconsin, his family has a long 
history in the state. His great-great grandfather, Edmund Ross, worked 
at the Milwaukee Free Democrat and the Milwaukee Daily Sentinel 
newspapers in the middle 1800s. At the time, Mr. Ross contributed to 
numerous anti-slavery efforts in Wisconsin and around the country.
  Frank will be remembered for the extraordinary contributions he made 
across our great state and to the public finance community. I extend my 
condolences to Frank's wife, Elizabeth, his daughters, Marci and 
Jessica, and their families, and Frank's extended family.
