RECOGNIZING ROBERT MIGUEL

Congressional Record, Volume 170 Issue 185 (Thursday, December 12, 2024) [Congressional Record Volume 170, Number 185 (Thursday, December 12, 2024)] [House] [Page H7126] From the Congressional Record Online through the Government Publishing Office [ www.gpo.gov ] RECOGNIZING ROBERT MIGUEL (Mr. CRANE asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 minute.) Mr. CRANE. Mr. Speaker, I am proud to represent 14 of Arizona's Tribes. One of the leaders I have been able to work with is Chairman Robert Miguel of the Ak-Chin Indian Community in Maricopa, Arizona, who will complete his final term this month due to term limits. Chairman Miguel first joined the Ak-Chin Tribal Council in 2014 and was elected chairman in 2016. During this time he has been a strong leader focused on serving his community with an entrepreneurial spirit, creating jobs and economic growth and promoting educational opportunities. We have worked together on efforts with the Indian Health Services, ensuring healthcare coverage for the Tribe, along with prioritizing flood control improvements with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. The first time I met with Chairman Miguel, he shared with me the Ak- Chin slogan: ``We all win with Ak-Chin.'' I will remember his enthusiasm and hard work as we continue to work with the Tribe on important issues. I thank Chairman Miguel for his leadership and service. I wish him the best in his future endeavors and know he will continue to make Ak- Chin proud. ____________________
