Ms. PETTERSEN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Keith Baker of Chaffee County, Colorado for his service to the people of Salida, Buena Vista, and Poncha Springs on the Chaffee County Board of County Commissioners.

During his time in office, Commissioner Baker worked to improve the lives of residents in his community. He spearheaded Chaffee County Common Ground, a program dedicated to preserving agricultural land and advancing wildfire protections and helped create the Office of Housing to tackle affordable housing and sustainability challenges in the county. Commissioner Baker's dedication to Chaffee County is commendable, and his presence will be missed.

On behalf of the people of Colorado's Seventh Congressional District, it is my honor to congratulate Commissioner Keith Baker for his service on the Chaffee County Board of County Commissioners and sincerely thank him for his contributions to the Colorado community. I wish him the best of luck in his future endeavors.
