THANKING MOLLY CUTRONA, MY CHIEF OF STAFF

Congressional Record, Volume 172 Issue 87 (Thursday, May 21, 2026) [Congressional Record Volume 172, Number 87 (Thursday, May 21, 2026)] [House] [Page H3682] From the Congressional Record Online through the Government Publishing Office [ www.gpo.gov ] THANKING MOLLY CUTRONA, MY CHIEF OF STAFF (Mr. Amodei of Nevada was recognized to address the House for 5 minutes.) Mr. AMODEI. Mr. Speaker, some may be surprised to see me standing on the House floor today, including the person this speech is about. I felt it was necessary. Today is a bittersweet day. For my longtime Chief of Staff, Molly Cutrona, it is her last day on Capitol Hill. Unfortunately, we are losing her talent, her leadership, and her feisty energy to the private sector. Although she is a native of Nevada's redheaded stepchild's neighbor, California--no offense to my colleagues from there who don't hold her in the same regard that we do--we consider her, after her stint in this office, an honorary, born-again Nevadan. Molly started in my office 8 years ago as my legislative director. Over those 8 years, I have watched her grow both professionally and personally, getting married, and welcoming beautiful twins into the world. However, Mr. Speaker, don't be fooled. I have experienced plenty of bullying from her disguised as advising. I will say this once, and only once: Some of it may have been deserved. Those 8 years aren't defined by her antics. She will be remembered in these Halls for her ambition, loyalty, creativity, confidence, and absolute dedication to her colleagues and to the people of Nevada's Second District. We are losing one of the best in the business. It has been an honor to work alongside her, and we have no doubt that she will continue to set a phenomenal example for her daughters, Claire and Coco. Molly, from the bottom of my heart, thank you for everything. With C- SPAN as my witness: I apologize for allowing Ken, your successor, to rearrange your office. ____________________
