Mr. Speaker, I rise today to celebrate an outstanding college student in my district. Megan Hedstrom is currently in her senior year at St. Cloud State University. Megan has excelled in college as a student and as an athlete. She has a bright future. Recently, Megan won a Crystal Pillar Award from the Upper Midwest Emmy Chapter of the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences. She received the award for a piece called ``True Grit'' that Megan wrote, edited, and produced for the university's television station. As if her Crystal Pillar Award was not enough, Megan also pitched a perfect game this spring, leading the St. Cloud Husky softball team to victory over the University of Mary. Megan excels in the classroom as well. Just this week she was named to the Northern Sun Intercollegiate Spring All-Academic team, which requires a minimum 3.2 GPA or higher. Megan's academic success, her success on the softball field, and her chosen career path, deserve recognition and celebration. Congratulations, Megan. We are proud to have students like you at St. Cloud State University. A Normandy Scholar

I believe our great financial system is the definition of freedom in this country, and congressional policies must provide room for the traditional financial system to evolve alongside the disruptive digital asset ecosystem.
