RECOGNIZING SHANE PLACEK

Congressional Record, Volume 172 Issue 66 (Wednesday, April 15, 2026) [Congressional Record Volume 172, Number 66 (Wednesday, April 15, 2026)] [House] [Page H2890] From the Congressional Record Online through the Government Publishing Office [ www.gpo.gov ] {time} 1010 RECOGNIZING SHANE PLACEK (Mr. FLOOD asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.) Mr. FLOOD. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize an often overlooked segment of our Nation's legal profession: rural lawyers. Across the First District and in communities throughout our State, rural lawyers represent the very best of the profession: selfless service and meaningful local impact. Today, I recognize the outstanding career of Shane Placek of Fremont. While Shane practices in a range of areas, he has earned particular respect among his peers for his work in domestic law. Shane's skill and tenacity are deeply appreciated by his clients and respected by judges, and even the counsel on the other side appreciates him. His thorough preparation, professionalism, and record of success demonstrate his unwavering dedication to families navigating difficult times. A proud son of Fremont, Shane returned to his hometown after earning his J.D. from the University of Minnesota, choosing to serve the very community that shaped him. It is a privilege to recognize Shane's distinguished career, which reflects the hard work, integrity, and grit that define rural lawyers across our State. ____________________
