REMEMBERING JERRY STERN

Congressional Record, Volume 170 Issue 185 (Thursday, December 12, 2024) [Congressional Record Volume 170, Number 185 (Thursday, December 12, 2024)] [House] [Pages H7115-H7116] From the Congressional Record Online through the Government Publishing Office [ www.gpo.gov ] REMEMBERING JERRY STERN (Mr. JOYCE of Pennsylvania asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.) Mr. JOYCE of Pennsylvania. Madam Speaker, I rise today to remember the life of former Pennsylvania State Representative Jerry Stern, who passed away earlier this week. For more than 20 years, Representative Stern served the people of Blair [[Page H7116]] and Bedford Counties in Harrisburg, where he was committed to addressing the issues that matter most to our communities. During his time both as a member of Pennsylvania's Committee on Agriculture and Rural Affairs and the Committee on Children and Youth, Representative Jerry Stern poured himself into his work each and every day. By building coalitions and passing legislation that supported our farmers and by advocating for children in the foster care system and working to ensure that they received the support and the care that they needed, Representative Jerry Stern showed his commitment to the people of central Pennsylvania. Today, please join me in remembering the life of Representative Jerry Stern and offering condolences to his wife, Susan, and to his entire family. ____________________
