On the recordMarch 12, 2024
Madam Speaker, I rise today to join so many in western Pennsylvania in celebrating the life of Jim Roddey and extending my condolences to his family and loved ones. A proud marine, Jim led Allegheny County through a critical transformation, serving as the first county executive and ushering in a new era of county government. I had the privilege of working with Jim on the bipartisan Blue Ribbon Commission on Pennsylvania's Election Security, where his counsel was invaluable and where patriotism carried the day over any party label. Fair winds and following seas, marine. ____________________
