HONORING DR. LUCYNDA RABEN

Congressional Record, Volume 172 Issue 70 (Tuesday, April 21, 2026) [Congressional Record Volume 172, Number 70 (Tuesday, April 21, 2026)] [House] [Page H3028] From the Congressional Record Online through the Government Publishing Office [ www.gpo.gov ] HONORING DR. LUCYNDA RABEN (Mr. ESTES asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.) Mr. ESTES. Mr. Speaker, today, we celebrate the remarkable career of a true pillar of Kansas dentistry, Dr. Lucynda Raben. For over 40 years, Lucynda has been more than a dentist. She has been a pioneer and a dedicated advocate for dentistry. From the very beginning, when she formed the first father-daughter practice in Kansas history, she has set a standard for excellence that has become a benchmark for our community. As the founder of Raben Dentistry, she provided world-class care to Wichita families, but her impact reached far beyond the walls of her clinic. Whether serving as chair of the Delta Dental of Kansas, being named KDA Dentist of the Year, or testifying before the State legislature, Lucynda has been a tireless advocate for us all. Through her work with the KIND program and her years of dedicated outreach, she has secured a clear path for the next generation of dentists. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to celebrate Dr. Raben's career of leadership, integrity, and unwavering commitment to Wichita. I thank her for her decades of service and the lasting mark she has made on our community. I congratulate her on a remarkable legacy. ____________________
