Congressional Record, Volume 170 Issue 188 (Wednesday, December 18, 2024) [Congressional Record Volume 170, Number 188 (Wednesday, December 18, 2024)] [Extensions of Remarks] [Page E1299] From the Congressional Record Online through the Government Publishing Office [ www.gpo.gov ] HONORING REPRESENTATIVE CATHY McMORRIS RODGERS ______ HON. DAN NEWHOUSE of washington in the house of representatives Wednesday, December 18, 2024 Mr. NEWHOUSE. Mr. Speaker, today I rise to recognize a dedicated leader, public servant, and good friend--Congresswoman Cathy McMorris Rodgers. For nearly two decades, Cathy has been a champion for the people of Washington's 5th Congressional District and a powerful voice for rural America. From delivering for our veterans to advancing clean energy initiatives, she has left a lasting mark on our Nation. Outside of her hard work as a Member of Congress, Cathy is a good friend. Over the years, we have joined forces in protecting the Pacific Northwest's hydropower operations and even hosted a high-turnout ``Save the Dams'' rally together in 2022 for the Lower Snake River Dams. I'll never forget shaking cowbells as we rallied the public behind our precious dams. As she begins her well-deserved retirement, I extend my gratitude for all the work she has done for the Washington Delegation and wish her the very best for this next chapter of her life. I thank Cathy, for her service to our Nation and the communities across Washington's 5th Congressional District. She will be missed. ____________________
