It is an honor to stand here tonight with my colleagues to recognize Chairwoman Cathy McMorris Rodgers and her remarkable service to the United States Congress. When she was elected to Congress, Cathy was a Member of our leadership team, serving as the chair of the House Republic Conference. In the 115th Congress, she led our Conference's messaging machine as we delivered historic results for the American people including the best economy in our lifetime. Additionally, I have learned a great deal from Cathy's leadership on the House Committee on Energy and Commerce this Congress as she helped each Member fulfill our promises to reclaim American energy dominance, expand clean power generation, and improve transparency in our Nation's healthcare system. Above all else, I have cherished sharing our faith and fellowship during LEAD House over these past years. Your love of God and family and devotion to your Christian values is something we will miss in the next Congress. I am proud to call you my sister in the faith. May God bless you and your family as you embark on your next season in life. Sister, I love you dearly.
