TRIBUTE TO DEREK FYKSEN

Congressional Record, Volume 172 Issue 130 (Friday, August 7, 2026) [Congressional Record Volume 172, Number 130 (Friday, August 7, 2026)] [Senate] [Page S4561] From the Congressional Record Online through the Government Publishing Office [ www.gpo.gov ] TRIBUTE TO DEREK FYKSEN Mr. SHEEHY. Madam President, I would like to take a moment to express my appreciation to Derek Fyksen for his hard work as a fellow in my Washington, DC, office this summer. Derek is a native of Minneapolis, MN. He attends Harvard University and the Kennedy School, where he is studying to obtain a degree in foreign relations and public policy. Derek has demonstrated a strong work ethic, and his efforts have been key to our mission to serve the people of Montana here in our Nation's Capital. I want to thank Derek for the dedication he has shown while working for me and my staff. It has been a pleasure having him as part of our team this summer, and I wish him all the best as he continues to build a bright future for himself. ____________________
