Congressman Byrne said: Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Mayor John Koniar of Foley on his upcoming retirement after a remarkable career in public service. Mayor Koniar began his official service to the people of Foley upon his election to the City Council in 1980. He began serving as Mayor Pro Tem in 1996 and served until his appointment to mayor in 2006. The people of Foley have shown their continued trust in Mayor Koniar by reelecting him in 2008, 2012, and 2016. Mayor Koniar has been absolutely indispensable in the promotion of Foley and its remarkable growth over the past several decades. Despite that growth, Foley has maintained its small-town Alabama charm, so exemplified by Mayor Koniar himself. He leaves big shoes to fill, but in no small part due to his leadership, Foley is better positioned than ever. It has been a pleasure to work with Mayor Koniar during my time in Congress, and I wish him and his family all the best in as they embark upon this new stage. I yield back. | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
