“Madam Speaker, today, I rise to honor one of my constituents, Jared Isaacman, who made history earlier this month as the first nonprofessional astronaut to walk in space, as part of the SpaceX Polaris Dawn mission. While in space, the crew conducted tests to study how humans can function in space. Jared has long been an integral part of the Lehigh Valley community. He is the founder of an Allentown-based company, Shift4, an e-commerce payment system now seen all over the world. Jared is also a remarkable philanthropist who has positively impacted so many lives throughout our district. Thanks to his generous contributions, the Lehigh Valley now has an outstanding children's hospital at St. Luke's Hospital network. Children in our community are able to receive the care they need in a less intimidating and more child-friendly environment, helping ease the stress of medical visits for kids and parents alike. Madam Speaker, I thank Jared for his commitment to our Lehigh Valley community, and I congratulate him again on this historic flight. ____________________”
