Floor Speech

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mrs. SYKES. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Amanda Archer from Canton as the Ohio-13 Champion of the Week. Amanda is the first woman to lead Canton City Public Health as Health Commissioner in its 175- year history. In addition to working for the health department since 2014, she also worked as an epidemiologist in the Stark County Coroner's Office as an epidemiologist to inform decisions and policies to help prevent disease in the community.

This experience made her an easy fit as the lead epidemiologist for Canton's COVID-19 response in 2020, helping Canton residents understand critical information about the virus. Amanda has dedicated herself to the health and wellbeing of her community, and I am excited to see how she leads Canton City Public Health in her new role.

Congratulations once more to the Ohio-13 Champion of the Week, Amanda Archer.
