this is a picture of a family from my congressional district, specifically the town of Palm Bay, the town that I live in on Florida's east central coast, an area we call the Space Coast because of Kennedy Space Center and Cape Canaveral being there. This is the Auger family, a middle-class family. Here we have Jim Auger. He is a plumber. We see him there with his wife and his three kids. They have a family income of less than $40,000. Jim juggles his roles as husband and plumber, and his wife, of course, is very busy with the household chores. I believe she also earns some extra income cutting hair. They have 3 kids. I want to talk a little bit about the kids. The oldest boy is Christopher. There is Christopher there. Then they have Anthony and their daughter Denae. She is 10 years old. Of course also they have the two dogs Bridget and Oreo.
