Mr. Speaker, I rise to acknowledge my Minnesota congressional colleague, Congressman Dean Phillips, as he concludes his service in the House of Representatives. Outside of Congress, Dean has proven to be a shrewd businessman, owning and starting several successful companies, and helping run his family's business. During his tenure here in Washington, Dean worked across the aisle with the same tenacity to help Minnesotans. From ensuring small businesses received the financial flexibility they needed during COVID to working with all of us in the Minnesota delegation to strengthen the Department of Veterans Affairs for our veterans, we found ways to put our political differences aside and get results for our constituents. As we saw over the last year, Dean is never afraid to pursue common ground for the common good and fight to restore Americans' faith in our institutions, regardless of the political ramifications. I thank Dean for his service. We wish him all the best in his next chapter. ____________________
