WISHING SENATOR PAT ROBERTS A VERY HAPPY 90TH BIRTHDAY

Congressional Record, Volume 172 Issue 69 (Monday, April 20, 2026) [Congressional Record Volume 172, Number 69 (Monday, April 20, 2026)] [House] [Page H2966] From the Congressional Record Online through the Government Publishing Office [ www.gpo.gov ] WISHING SENATOR PAT ROBERTS A VERY HAPPY 90TH BIRTHDAY (Ms. DAVIDS of Kansas asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.) Ms. DAVIDS of Kansas. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to wish former Senator Pat Roberts a very happy 90th birthday. For decades, Senator Roberts showed up for Kansas, first as a marine, and then for our rural communities as chairman of both the Senate and House Agriculture Committees. When he was elected to the Senate in 1996, he promised that ``when Kansas spoke, Washington would listen.'' Mr. Speaker, no matter your political party, that kind of commitment is something that we should all respect and emulate. Personally, I have appreciated the guidance he has shared with me over the years, especially on the farm bill. He understands still today that agriculture isn't just part of our State's economy, it is in our blood. His mentorship is a reminder that even in a place like D.C., we can still come together, share stories, and learn from one another. Today, we celebrate a Kansan who spent a lifetime working on our behalf. Happy 90th birthday, Senator Roberts, and I thank you for all of your service. ____________________
