THANK YOU RIVER CURT Congressional Record, Volume 172 Issue 76 (Thursday, April 30, 2026) [Congressional Record Volume 172, Number 76 (Thursday, April 30, 2026)] [House] [Page H3327] From the Congressional Record Online through the Government Publishing Office [ www.gpo.gov ] THANK YOU RIVER CURT (Mr. FROST asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.) Mr. FROST. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to thank an extraordinary public servant, River Curt, who has been my legislative director for the past 3 years. River has been a steady and thoughtful force behind so much of the work our office has been proud to lead, bringing not only deep policy expertise but a commitment to improving people's lives, from advancing housing solutions like the PRO Manufactured Home Communities Act to shaping efforts around the White House Office of Gun Violence Prevention that we got done just a few months from being in the office in our freshman term. Beyond the policy wins, what stands out the most is how River shows up with integrity, compassion, and purpose. They have strengthened our team in ways both large and small, including being a part of our now kind of legendary tiny desk-style concert in the office, a moment that has captured their creativity and spirit. I thank Riv for everything. You inspire me. I thank you for your impact on this country. The Nation is better because of you and your work. I love you, dude. ____________________
