Congressional Record, Volume 170 Issue 184 (Wednesday, December 11, 2024) [Congressional Record Volume 170, Number 184 (Wednesday, December 11, 2024)] [Extensions of Remarks] [Pages E1259-E1260] From the Congressional Record Online through the Government Publishing Office [ www.gpo.gov ] HONORING STATE REPRESENTATIVE TRACY O. KING ______ HON. HENRY CUELLAR of texas in the house of representatives Wednesday, December 11, 2024 Mr. CUELLAR. Mr. Speaker, today I rise to commemorate Texas State Representative Tracy King. King has served in the Texas state legislature since 1995. We actually served together for a few years in Austin, Texas. I want to wish him well as he enters retirement. Representative King graduated from Carrizo Springs High School, Southwest Texas Junior College, and Texas A&M University where he earned his Bachelor of Science in Agricultural Engineering. He spent his professional career providing hearing aids across south Texas and later sold his business to spend more time with his beloved family. He served his first term back in 1995 representing nearby Uvalde, Texas. In 2005, he was elected to represent the 80th House district, which covers much of my district--parts [[Page E1260]] of Webb County along with the entirety of Atascosa, Dimmit, Frio, Uvalde, and Zavala counties. Representative King has had a storied history in the Texas State House. Over the course of his fifteen terms, King has served as chairman of the committees on Border and International Affairs, Agriculture and Livestock, and Licensing and Administrative Procedures. He currently serves as the chair of the House Natural Resources Committee. King has also served as a member of the Board of Trustees for the First United Methodist Church and is a past president of the Kiwanis Club and the Texas Hearing Aid Association. I am proud to honor the career of this great public servant. South Texas owes him a great debt for his decades of hard work to improve the lives of all his constituents. ____________________
