“I take a moment tonight to share with people across America a little bit about the life of an extraordinary person from my district, Bob Hren. There are so many things I could say about Bob. He was a great friend of mine. He had the best sense of humor. He was an extraordinary leader, and he was just a great man. In the world of politics, you will not find a better man. He was just so clearly in it for the right reasons. He believed in this country. He wanted to do everything that he could to make his community in Nevada County a better place. There are so many things I could tell you about Bob that whatever I might say would actually pale in comparison to a beautiful tribute that was prepared by his wife, Cindy, as well as his friend and associate and successor, Mac Young. Cindy is a wonderful, wonderful woman who was always by Bob's side at events. They were truly a team. In addition, Mac worked very closely with him on everything he did in Nevada County and is now doing a tremendous job of filling his very, very big shoes as the head of the Nevada County Republican Party. This is the tribute that was prepared by Cindy and Mac: Robert Ralph Hren was an outstanding citizen who dedicated his life to making a positive difference in the world. A loving husband of 50 years and father of two sons, he was a beacon of light for his family and community.…”
