On the recordMarch 29, 2022
Today I rise to pay tribute to my good friend, Representative Don Young. The House of Representatives has been home to many unique individuals throughout its history, perhaps none more memorable than my colleague and friend, Representative Don Young. His office walls are adorned with various mounted animals, and a 10- foot grizzly pelt, a homage to his favorite place, Alaska. For 49 years, Representative Young dutifully served his beloved Alaska, fiercely advocating for his home and the constituents he proudly served. When I first came to Congress, Don was among the first to welcome me and show me the ropes. This Chamber is far quieter without his boisterous laugh. It is dimmer without his smiling face. We will miss this unforgettable giant, and I will miss my friend.
