RECOGNIZING LEE LONSBERRY

Congressional Record, Volume 172 Issue 116 (Thursday, July 16, 2026) [Congressional Record Volume 172, Number 116 (Thursday, July 16, 2026)] [House] [Page H4616] From the Congressional Record Online through the Government Publishing Office [ www.gpo.gov ] RECOGNIZING LEE LONSBERRY (Mr. OWENS asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.) Mr. OWENS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize my outgoing chief of staff, Mr. Lee Lonsberry, a beloved fixture here on the Hill and one of Utah's most trusted voices. This end of this week marks the conclusion of a decade of Lee's exemplary public service. Before joining my office, Lee served as communications director for two distinguished members of Utah's delegation in both the House and the Senate. As my chief of staff, Lee revealed his greatest gifts and talent, a style of leadership that has built a beautiful culture of service and family. Lee has earned the respect and admiration of everyone who has had the privilege of working with him. We are excited to see him take those skills of service, patience, encouragement, and as a strategist into his next chapter. We know, as has been his last chapter, it will be a successful one. I thank Lee for his personal friendship, his leadership to our remarkable team, his faithful service to the people of Utah, our country, and this institution. He will be missed. Well done, my friend. ____________________
