Mr. Speaker, I rise today to celebrate the town of Oro Valley's 50th anniversary. On April 15, 1974, Oro Valley started as a small town with only 1,200 people. Today, it has grown into a booming community with a population of over 48,000 Arizonans. The town recently celebrated its 50th anniversary with community performances from local bands, fireworks, and parades. This celebration was a testament to the sense of community and strong neighborly values my family and I have been fortunate enough to experience ourselves over the years. Mr. Speaker, I thank Mayor Winfield and Vice Mayor Barrett for their leadership of the community. I am so proud to represent Oro Valley and so many other wonderful communities like this in our district. Remembering the Life of Lead Police Officer Adam R. Buckner
