Mr. Speaker, today, we pause to recognize a man whose work has made an incredible difference in the fight to preserve the values that made this Nation great, Tim Reitz. Tim has served the House Freedom Caucus with conviction, discipline, and a clear sense of purpose. In a town where it is awfully easy to lose sight of first principles, he has remained grounded in them. He understood that our responsibility is not to expand government, but to restrain it, not to chase headlines, but to deliver results for the American people. Behind the scenes, where much of the real work gets done in this city, Tim brought steady leadership and sound judgment. He helped advance policies that defend our Constitution, protect taxpayer dollars, and uphold the freedoms entrusted to us by our Founders. More than that, Tim has served with integrity. Tim has built trust. Tim has earned respect. He reminded all of us that public service is, at its core, about serving something greater than ourselves. I say to you this evening, Tim, that we are grateful for your dedication to the House Freedom Caucus and to the cause of liberty. Your work has left a mark, and the principles you championed will continue to guide us forward. May God bless you in the next chapter, and may God continue to bless these United States of America.
