Mister Speaker,
 
I rise today to honor the life of Brenda Allen of Campbellsville, Kentucky. Mrs. Allen served as the Mayor of Campbellsville for three terms, dedicating her life to bettering her community and serving all who called Campbellsville home.
 
Mayor Allen was a lifelong resident of Campbellsville and spent years before her time in public office as an active community leader and volunteer. She was the recipient of numerous awards and honors due to her many years of service to her community.
 
 She served as City Clerk for four years before being elected the first female Mayor of Campbellsville. Over the years, I have had the privilege of getting to know Mayor Allen well. Her endless pride for Campbellsville and dedication to improving the lives of her city’s citizens never wavered.
 
Campbellsville and Kentucky’s First Congressional District have lost a great leader and public servant. Mayor Allen’s life and her time in office were marked by numerous accomplishments, and her legacy will be felt for many years to come. On behalf of the First Congressional District of Kentucky, I want to send my condolences to Mayor Allen’s family and friends during this difficult time.
 
Thank you and I yield back.
