RECOGNIZING MICHAELLE JINNETTE, JULY 2026 CONSTITUENT OF THE MONTH

Congressional Record, Volume 172 Issue 146 (Wednesday, September 16, 2026) [Congressional Record Volume 172, Number 146 (Wednesday, September 16, 2026)] [Extensions of Remarks] [Page E950] From the Congressional Record Online through the Government Publishing Office [ www.gpo.gov ] RECOGNIZING MICHAELLE JINNETTE, JULY 2026 CONSTITUENT OF THE MONTH ______ HON. MIKE LEVIN of california in the house of representatives Wednesday, September 16, 2026 Mr. LEVIN. Mr. Speaker, I rise to recognize Michaelle Jinnette, a resident of Encinitas, as my Constituent of the Month for July 2026. When Michaelle's son Tristan was diagnosed with an ultra-rare genetic condition, she and her husband, Kevin, refused to accept that there was nothing to be done. Instead, they founded the Cure KCNH1 Foundation and set out to build related scientific research and inspire hope that did not yet exist for families like theirs. Michaelle's determination has connected families across the globe and helped launch new research into a disorder shared by fewer than 100 children worldwide. She has shown that one parent's love, paired with tireless resolve, can move the frontiers of medicine forward. I urge my colleagues to join me in celebrating Michaelle Jinnette, and in thanking her for the strength, compassion, and leadership she brings to families facing rare disease everywhere. ____________________
