             CONGRATULATING FRANK ABBATE ON HIS RETIREMENT

  (Mr. HARIDOPOLOS asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. HARIDOPOLOS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and 
congratulate Frank Abbate on his upcoming retirement next Thursday, 
marking the end of a 36-year career in public service in Brevard 
County.
  Frank has spent the last several years, since 2017, serving as our 
Brevard County manager. Throughout his tenure, he has played a key role 
in guiding Brevard County through a period of substantial growth and 
change.
  Frank's steady leadership helped preserve the unique character of our 
community while meeting the evolving needs of our residents.
  Mr. Speaker, as he prepares to close this chapter, I thank Frank for 
his dedicated service to Brevard County, and I congratulate him on his 
well-earned retirement.
