HONORING JUDY REPKING'S PRO-LIFE ADVOCACY

Congressional Record, Volume 171 Issue 41 (Tuesday, March 4, 2025) [Congressional Record Volume 171, Number 41 (Tuesday, March 4, 2025)] [Extensions of Remarks] [Page E184] From the Congressional Record Online through the Government Publishing Office [ www.gpo.gov ] HONORING JUDY REPKING'S PRO-LIFE ADVOCACY ______ HON. MIKE BOST of illinois in the house of representatives Tuesday, March 4, 2025 Mr. BOST. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Judy Repking of Effingham County, Illinois, my special guest for President Trump's Joint Address to Congress this evening. Judy and her husband, Paul, have been tireless advocates for the cause of innocent, unborn babies for more than 20 years. Judy rose to the level of chairman of the Bishop's Pro-Life Committee in 2016, where she kept her community informed on key legislative and policy issues. Since 2018, she has served on the board of Effingham Area Right to Life, leading efforts to educate the public, organize events, and oppose policies that threaten innocent life. Since 2010, Judy and Paul have traveled to regional parades with Effingham Area Right to Life's float and helped run the pro-life booth at the Effingham County Fair. Judy also plays a key role organizing the Annual Pro-Life Fundraising Breakfast, raising critical funds for organizations supporting moms, families, and unborn children. She has attended the annual March for Life in Springfield, Illinois, and organized major pro-life events, including the Illinois Right to Life Advocacy Update and the Prayer for America event at the Cross at the Crossroads in Effingham. Due to her steadfast leadership on a cause that is near and dear to my heart, I knew Judy would be an ideal guest to join us for President Trump's historic first address to Congress of his second term. Please join me in welcoming Judy and Paul Repking to the People's House for this very special occasion. She has inspired many with her work educating, inspiring, and mobilizing her community in defense of life. ____________________
