“Mr. JACKSON of Texas. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and express my sincere gratitude to my former Senior Legislative Assistant, Katie Wallach of Irving, Texas, for her exceptional service, steadfast dedication, and unwavering commitment to the people of Texas' 13th Congressional District. From the earliest days of my tenure in Congress, Katie has been a cornerstone of my team. Her sharp policy insight, institutional knowledge, and tireless work ethic helped shape my legislative strategy and ensured that my constituents received the strong, principled representation they deserve. Katie's commitment to public service began long before she joined my office. She pursued her passion for government at the University of Dallas, where she majored in Politics. Throughout college, she strengthened her experience in politics serving in both congressional and state government offices, including with Representative Pete Sessions, the Texas General Land Office, and numerous campaigns always demonstrating initiative, professionalism, and a deep respect for the institutions she served. In May 2021, Katie joined my office as a Staff Assistant. It did not take long for her talent and determination to stand out. Through earned promotions, she advanced from Legislative Correspondent to Legislative Aide, Legislative Assistant, and ultimately Senior Legislative Assistant. As Senior Legislative Assistant, Katie led my policy efforts on the House Foreign Affairs Committee. Her strategic insight and procedural expertise were instrumental in advancing my legislative priorities. Most notably, she played a critical role in helping secure the passage and enactment of my first bill being signed into law--the Maintaining American Superiority by Improving Export Control Transparency Act. This achievement stands as a testament to her diligence, persistence, and command of the legislative process. Her ability to navigate both the substance and the strategy of Congress made her an indispensable member of Team Jackson. Today, Katie continues her distinguished service as a Special Assistant to the Assistant Secretary of War for Legislative Affairs. In this role, she will continue supporting our warfighters, strengthening our national defense, and advancing policies that put America First. Although Katie has moved into a new role, her impact on my office and on the people of Texas' 13th Congressional District will be felt for years to come. On behalf of myself, my staff, and the constituents I proudly serve, I want to thank Katie Wallach for her years of loyal service, her commitment to excellence, and her unwavering patriotic spirit. I wish her nothing but success as she continues serving the American people. ____________________”

“Mr. JACKSON of Texas. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and express my sincere gratitude to my former Communications Director, Lottie Featherston of Highland Park, Texas, for her outstanding service, strong leadership, and unwavering commitment to the people of Texas' 13th Congressional District. In today's media environment it takes discipline, clarity, and vision to ensure our communications are successful. Lottie has done exactly that. She has worked tirelessly to make sure the priorities and values of my district are effectively articulated. Lottie is a proud graduate of the University of Mississippi, where she earned her degree in Marketing and Communication Strategy and participated in the prestigious Lott Leadership Institute. From the beginning, she distinguished herself as a principled leader who understood that effective communication is grounded in conviction. She further broadened her communication skills through international study at Universitat Pompeu Fabra in Spain, strengthening her understanding of global affairs and strategic messaging. Her service on Capitol Hill began with internships in Congressman Jake Ellzey and Congresswoman Beth Van Duyne's Offices, where she quickly proved herself to be dependable, creative, and goal oriented. She later joined the Office of the House Republican Whip under Whip Tom Emmer, advancing from Staff Assistant to Press Assistant. While working in House Leadership, Lottie operated at the center of House Republican's communication efforts, helping to advance the conservative agenda and defend our conference's priorities. When she joined my office, she brought that same intensity and discipline with her as my Communications Director. Lottie's leadership was critical in the success of my press and digital operations and she understood what it takes to clearly articulate my positions on national security, secure borders, agriculture, and America First policies to my constituents in Texas' 13th Congressional District. Whether responding to national media inquiries, crafting official statements, or advising on communications strategies, Lottie was always a steady and trusted voice. Today, Lottie continues her public service as a Press lead on the Presidential Advance Team in the Executive Office of President Donald J. Trump. I am confident that her strong work ethic, careful attention to detail, [[Page E481]] and dedication to service will continue to be invaluable assets for the Trump Administration. While Lottie has moved into a new role, her impact in my office and on the people of Texas' 13th Congressional District will continue to be felt in the work we do every day. On behalf of myself, my staff, and the constituents I proudly serve, I want to thank Lottie Featherston for her loyal service, her commitment to excellence, and her patriotic spirit. I wish her the very best in all of her future endeavors. ____________________”
