Mr. Speaker, I rise to welcome the Greater Houston LGBT Chamber of Commerce on their first trip to Washington. I am so proud to represent so many thriving LGBTQ+ and allied businesses in my district and in the Greater Houston area. This week, Chamber representatives are in Washington to advance policies that foster economic inclusion and equality for the LGBTQ+ business community. I want them to know how welcome they are here in Washington, in the U.S. Congress, the people's House. I want to recognize them for being here, for their efforts and engagement, and for being great partners and leaders. The Greater Houston LGBT Chamber of Commerce brings the best of our diverse, dynamic, and inclusive community to Washington this week, and I could not be more proud to represent them or to welcome them here to the people's House. ____________________
