Congressional Record, Volume 172 Issue 144 (Monday, September 14, 2026) [Congressional Record Volume 172, Number 144 (Monday, September 14, 2026)] [Extensions of Remarks] [Page E902] From the Congressional Record Online through the Government Publishing Office [ www.gpo.gov ] CELEBRATING THE RETIREMENT OF VINCENT ``VINCE'' GASTGEB ______ HON. GUY RESCHENTHALER of pennsylvania in the house of representatives Monday, September 14, 2026 Mr. RESCHENTHALER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and celebrate the retirement of Mr. Vincent ``Vince'' Gastgeb, a dedicated public servant and friend to Western Pennsylvania. Vince's career has spanned both the public and private sectors, with a lasting commitment to our Commonwealth. Following Allegheny County's adoption of its Home Rule Charter in 1999, Vince was elected to represent District 5 on the County's first-ever Council. He was reelected to four consecutive terms and served on the County's Budget and Finance Committee. In 2012 and again in 2022, Vince was appointed to the Pennsylvania Banking and Securities Commission, where he helped advance financial literacy and education across Pennsylvania. Most recently, Vince served as the Chief Corporate and Government Affairs Officer for the Allegheny County Airport Authority, overseeing legislative and government affairs, grant funding, and corporate and airline sales. During his tenure, the Authority secured air service to three transatlantic destinations, funded its new Cargo 4 building, broke ground on two buildings at the Neighborhood 91 additive manufacturing campus, and strengthened partnerships across the region. Vince was a vital part of building the new terminal at Pittsburgh International Airport, which opened in November 2025. This was the culmination of more than a decade of work to reimagine aviation in Western Pennsylvania. Mr. Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in congratulating Vince Gastgeb on his retirement and thanking him for a career dedicated to serving Western Pennsylvania. ____________________
