Mrs. SYKES. Mr. Speaker, today, I rise to recognize Eugene Mitchell as Ohio's 13th Congressional District Champion of the Week.
Eugene recently earned the 2024 Lifetime Achievement award, presented by the Ohio Public Transit Association. This award honors those who have exemplified leadership and advocacy for public transit in Ohio.
Eugene has served our community as a bus driver for METRO for more than 30 years. He takes this responsibility very seriously, because he knows that when people get on his bus, their lives are in his hands.
He cares for his regular riders and takes pride in his service to his community. That pride is demonstrated by his interest in continuing to drive his bus with no plans to retire soon, even at the age of 76.
I congratulate Eugene on this award and thank him for his dedication to our community. I wish him the best in the years to come.
