Congressional Record, Volume 172 Issue 134 (Thursday, August 20, 2026) [Congressional Record Volume 172, Number 134 (Thursday, August 20, 2026)] [Extensions of Remarks] [Page E798] From the Congressional Record Online through the Government Publishing Office [ www.gpo.gov ] RECOGNIZING KEITH AEDER FOR MORE THAN FOUR DECADES OF PUBLIC SERVICE ______ HON. LISA C. McCLAIN of michigan in the house of representatives Thursday, August 20, 2026 Mrs. McCLAIN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Keith Aeder for his decades of dedicated public service to the residents of Fairgrove Township and the surrounding community as he marks his retirement from the Vassar Area Ambulance Board of Directors. Since 1984, Keith has been a steadfast leader in Fairgrove Township, serving as Township Supervisor for 40 years. During his tenure, Fairgrove Township modernized its firefighting equipment, acquired and renovated the township hall, supported two library expansions, and made significant improvements to local ambulance services and roads. He concluded his tenure as Township Supervisor in 2024, leaving behind a legacy of progress and dedicated service to the community. Keith's commitment to public service also extended to the Vassar Area Ambulance Board of Directors, where he began serving in 1986. He completed 40 years of service on the board in 2026. His dedication to improving emergency services has made a meaningful difference in the lives of residents throughout the community. In addition to his public service, Keith built a successful professional career. He spent 29 years with Farm Credit Services before retiring in 2018 and founding Aeder Appraisal Services, where he continued to serve his community through his professional work. Mr. Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in recognizing Keith Aeder for more than four decades of dedicated public service. His leadership, commitment, and devotion to the residents of Fairgrove Township and the surrounding community are truly commendable. I congratulate Keith on his well-deserved retirement and thank him for his many years of service to Michigan's Thumb. ____________________
