TRIBUTE TO HAYES HANSEN

Congressional Record, Volume 172 Issue 81 (Wednesday, May 13, 2026) [Congressional Record Volume 172, Number 81 (Wednesday, May 13, 2026)] [Senate] [Pages S2272-S2273] From the Congressional Record Online through the Government Publishing Office [ www.gpo.gov ] TRIBUTE TO HAYES HANSEN Mr. THUNE. Mr. President, today I recognize Hayes Hansen, an intern in [[Page S2273]] my Washington, DC, office, for all the hard work she has done for me, my staff, and the State of South Dakota over the past several weeks. Hayes is a graduate of Custer County High School in Miles City, MT, and a recent graduate of Black Hills State University in Spearfish, SD, having earned degrees in political science and international studies. This fall, Hayes plans to attend the University of Nebraska College of Law in Lincoln, NE. Hayes is a dedicated worker who has been committed to getting the most out of her experience. I extend my sincere thanks and appreciation to Hayes for all the fine work she has done and wish her continued success in the years to come. ____________________
