Floor Speech

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mr. STAUBER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to offer my congratulations to an extraordinary citizen from Minnesota's 8th Congressional district. After 45 years in the broadcasting business, Jeff Hilborn is retiring.

Jeff spent the first 22 years of his career in Kansas and South Dakota before making the Brainerd Lakes Area his home in 1992. Here in Brainerd, Jeff served in several management roles at KLIZ-FM The Power Loon before becoming the manager of six radio station groups for Hubbard Broadcasting.

Jeff and his wife Michelle raised their three children in Brainerd and have been integral members of their community for the last 32 years.

Jeff has dedicated himself to the people of the Brainerd Lakes Area by serving on the Board of Directors for the Brainerd Sports Boosters and the Sunrise Sertoma Club.

He also served as a committee member for the Brainerd Lakes Area Chamber of Commerce ``Destination Downtown'' initiative and worked on the Board of Directors for the Minnesota Broadcasters Association.

Jeff is retiring but his legacy will not soon be forgotten by those who were fortunate enough to work alongside him.

On behalf of the 8th Congressional District of Minnesota, I would like to thank Jeff for his commitment to our community and congratulate him on a job well done.
