RECOGINZING AND EXPRESSING GRATITUDE TO FORMER COMMUNICATIONS DIRECTOR LOTTIE FEATHERSTON

Congressional Record, Volume 172 Issue 87 (Thursday, May 21, 2026) [Congressional Record Volume 172, Number 87 (Thursday, May 21, 2026)] [Extensions of Remarks] [Pages E480-E481] From the Congressional Record Online through the Government Publishing Office [ www.gpo.gov ] RECOGINZING AND EXPRESSING GRATITUDE TO FORMER COMMUNICATIONS DIRECTOR LOTTIE FEATHERSTON ______ HON. RONNY JACKSON of texas in the house of representatives Thursday, May 21, 2026 Mr. JACKSON of Texas. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and express my sincere gratitude to my former Communications Director, Lottie Featherston of Highland Park, Texas, for her outstanding service, strong leadership, and unwavering commitment to the people of Texas' 13th Congressional District. In today's media environment it takes discipline, clarity, and vision to ensure our communications are successful. Lottie has done exactly that. She has worked tirelessly to make sure the priorities and values of my district are effectively articulated. Lottie is a proud graduate of the University of Mississippi, where she earned her degree in Marketing and Communication Strategy and participated in the prestigious Lott Leadership Institute. From the beginning, she distinguished herself as a principled leader who understood that effective communication is grounded in conviction. She further broadened her communication skills through international study at Universitat Pompeu Fabra in Spain, strengthening her understanding of global affairs and strategic messaging. Her service on Capitol Hill began with internships in Congressman Jake Ellzey and Congresswoman Beth Van Duyne's Offices, where she quickly proved herself to be dependable, creative, and goal oriented. She later joined the Office of the House Republican Whip under Whip Tom Emmer, advancing from Staff Assistant to Press Assistant. While working in House Leadership, Lottie operated at the center of House Republican's communication efforts, helping to advance the conservative agenda and defend our conference's priorities. When she joined my office, she brought that same intensity and discipline with her as my Communications Director. Lottie's leadership was critical in the success of my press and digital operations and she understood what it takes to clearly articulate my positions on national security, secure borders, agriculture, and America First policies to my constituents in Texas' 13th Congressional District. Whether responding to national media inquiries, crafting official statements, or advising on communications strategies, Lottie was always a steady and trusted voice. Today, Lottie continues her public service as a Press lead on the Presidential Advance Team in the Executive Office of President Donald J. Trump. I am confident that her strong work ethic, careful attention to detail, [[Page E481]] and dedication to service will continue to be invaluable assets for the Trump Administration. While Lottie has moved into a new role, her impact in my office and on the people of Texas' 13th Congressional District will continue to be felt in the work we do every day. On behalf of myself, my staff, and the constituents I proudly serve, I want to thank Lottie Featherston for her loyal service, her commitment to excellence, and her patriotic spirit. I wish her the very best in all of her future endeavors. ____________________
