Congressional Record, Volume 170 Issue 183 (Tuesday, December 10, 2024) [Congressional Record Volume 170, Number 183 (Tuesday, December 10, 2024)] [Extensions of Remarks] [Page E1251] From the Congressional Record Online through the Government Publishing Office [ www.gpo.gov ] CONGRATULATING CONGRESSWOMAN CATHY McMORRIS RODGERS ON HER RETIREMENT FROM THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES AFTER 20 YEARS OF SERVICE ______ HON. RICHARD HUDSON of north carolina in the house of representatives Tuesday, December 10, 2024 Mr. HUDSON. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and congratulate my friend and colleague, Chair of the Energy and Commerce Committee, Cathy McMorris Rodgers, on her retirement from the House of Representatives after a 20-year career representing the folks of Washington's 5th congressional district. I've had the pleasure of working closely with Cathy on the Energy and Commerce Committee for a long time and together we've been able to accomplish some amazing things for the American people. I've admired her determination and strength to get our priorities across the finish line and she has never stopped working tirelessly on behalf of the people she was elected to serve. What I most admire about Cathy is her dedication to her family and the Down Syndrome community. Over the years I've had the privilege of becoming friends with her son Cole, who has inspired me and is one of the reasons I'm so passionate about supporting Cathy's work on behalf of the Down Syndrome community. She has been a tireless champion for the community and left a lasting legacy with her accomplishments on behalf of the people who are differently-abled, so they can live their lives to their full potential with no barriers or bias or obstacles standing in their way. While her colleagues will miss her dearly, we wish Cathy and her family all the best as she begins this next chapter of her life. Mr. Speaker, please join me in congratulating my friend Congresswoman Cathy McMorris Rodgers on her retirement from the House of Representatives after 20 years of service to the people of Washington's 5th congressional district. ____________________
