The U.S. House of Representatives passed legislation authored by Congressman Bob Latta (R-Bowling Green) Tuesday afternoon to officially name the Findlay Post Office after former U.S. and Ohio Representative Mike Oxley. The bill, H.R. 4925, designates the post office at 229 West Main Cross Street in Findlay as the ‘Michael Garver Oxley Memorial Post Office Building.’ Congressman Oxley served over thirty years in the Ohio legislature and in Congress where he rose to become Chairman of the Financial Services Committee. Rep. Oxley passed away earlier this year.
“Mike Oxley served the people of Ohio with class and distinction in the Statehouse and then in the halls of Congress,” said Latta. “His commitment to public service deserves to be recognized and the renaming of his hometown post office in his honor is a fitting tribute. I’m proud to have called Mike a friend and passing this bill will help ensure that his legacy is remembered well into the future.” Congressman Latta spoke in favor of the legislation and in remembrance of Rep. Oxley on the House floor. Video is available here. ### |
