CELEBRATING THE LEADERSHIP OF CONGRESSWOMAN CATHY McMORRIS RODGERS

Congressional Record, Volume 170 Issue 184 (Wednesday, December 11, 2024) [Congressional Record Volume 170, Number 184 (Wednesday, December 11, 2024)] [House] [Pages H7102-H7103] From the Congressional Record Online through the Government Publishing Office [ www.gpo.gov ] CELEBRATING THE LEADERSHIP OF CONGRESSWOMAN CATHY McMORRIS RODGERS (Mr. PALMER asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.) Mr. PALMER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to celebrate the leadership of my dear friend, Congresswoman Cathy McMorris Rodgers. Serving alongside Cathy has been an honor. She is not only a fierce advocate for her constituents but a principled leader with a servant heart. As the first chairwoman of the Energy and Commerce Committee, Cathy has shown what it means to always put the needs of the American people first. Beyond her professional accomplishments, Cathy's faith is what I admire most. Whether it is by sharing an encouraging comment or during prayer walks around the Capitol, Cathy has strived to honor the Lord every day. After I was elected to Congress, I had the opportunity to meet with Cathy, who at the time was chairwoman of the House Republican Conference. It was [[Page H7103]] during that meeting that Cathy made me feel like I belonged here. Cathy McMorris Rodgers is special. During my time serving in Congress, Cathy has become a great friend and a great example of what it means to lead with grace and faith. Even though we will miss her here, I am excited for what the Lord has in store for her. May God bless her and may He continue to guide her steps in this next season of life. ____________________
