BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Ms. PETTERSEN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Mr. Dominick Breton of Wheat Ridge for his impactful contribution to small businesses and the community of Wheat Ridge. Leaving behind a legacy of kindness, Mr. Breton passed away on June 18, 2026.

Fondly known as ``Mr. Wheat Ridge,'' Dominick was a beloved contributor to our community, participating in events, service projects, and business advocacy. Dominick served as president of the Wheat Ridge Chamber of Commerce for over seven years and was a member of Kiwanis for nine years. Dominick had an inspirational gift to mobilize his neighbors and community members to help with projects or initiatives to benefit the community. Through his dedication, he made a deeply positive impact on our community.

During his final months, Dominick persevered through his work with the same strength and passion. Though he will be missed, his legacy of service lives on in the many lives he touched.

On behalf of the people of Colorado's 7th Congressional District, it is my honor to recognize Dominick Breton for his impact and thank him for his contribution to the Wheat Ridge community and beyond. We will remember him fondly as Wheat Ridge carries on his mission.
