Mr. CARTER of Texas. Madam Speaker, I'm honored to celebrate and recognize the extraordinary work of Belton, TX Mayor Marion Grayson. After seven years of extraordinary work to her beloved city, Mayor Grayson retired on November 10, 2020. Her commitment to public service represents Texas values at their best.

Not only was Marion the first female Mayor of Belton, but under her steady and forward-looking leadership, Belton has seen exponential changes that have improved the quality of life for all and put the city on the track for continued growth in the future. Mayor Grayson's work with Belton's parks and recreation including the Nolan Creek project and the restoration of beloved public infrastructure demonstrates that she is truly for the people and improving the lives of those around her. Not only did she enhance the roads of Belton, but she also worked to improve everything from water quality to performing arts education.

In her wake, Mayor Grayson leaves behind a city, civic organizations, and elected officials all better off due to her involvement. She has brought her tremendous work ethic and commitment to excellence to every challenge she has encountered. It is officials like her that make the City of Belton the welcoming, successful city that it is. I salute her leadership, congratulate her on her retirement, and wish Mayor Marion Grayson nothing but the best in the years to come.
