“Mr. NADLER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to thank Isabelle Schindler for her outstanding service to my office and the constituents of New York's 12th Congressional District. A native New Yorker, Isabelle graduated from University of Michigan's Ford School of Public Policy. She has worked for Congressman Eliot Engel and served as a Senate Page for Senator Charles Schumer from New York. Isabelle worked on a variety of voter engagement projects in both New York and Michigan before joining my staff in the House of Representatives. In 2023, Isabelle became my Scheduler while I was serving as the Ranking Member of the House Judiciary Committee. She did an excellent job coordinating appointments with constituents, stakeholders, Members of Congress, House Leadership, and members of the Judiciary Committee staff She quickly took on more than scheduling and expanded her role in the office, earning her a promotion to DC Operations Manager. Isabelle was a team player and was always willing to step up and take on more responsibilities. She assisted our press operation, held legislative meetings with constituents and interest groups, and covered the arts portfolio for our office. She was instrumental in the introduction of the American Royalties Too (ART) Act and worked with our team on the Holocaust Expropriated Art Recovery Act (HEAR) Act to make it easier to recover artwork lost or stolen between 1933 and 1945 because of Nazi persecution. During the annual appropriations process, she registered my support for hundreds of legislative programs and initiatives including critical Community Project Funding requests which brought tens of millions of dollars into our New York district. After I announced my decision not to seek re-election, Isabelle worked diligently to organize my vast collection of physical files to ensure they could be properly reviewed and archived for future generations. Isabelle was a fantastic intern coordinator and managed 18 interns during her time in my office. She took her leadership responsibilities seriously and went out of her way to provide interesting educational opportunities for the interns both on Capitol Hill and throughout Washington, D.C., including tours of the White House and various government agencies. Several of her former interns have returned on visits to the office and have gone out of their way to express how influential Isabelle has been in their career development and how they still haven't had a supervisor who was as kind, encouraging, and empowering as she was. I will miss her cheerful presence, her ability to anticipate the needs of the office, and her diligence in completing projects on time or ahead of schedule. She was a trusted, reliable professional member of my staff, and I deeply appreciate her service. Isabelle was invaluable to the office in ways that went beyond her defined role. Each and every staffer she worked with grew to appreciate how much she contributed to the office culture. She went above and beyond to make sure everyone felt welcome and supported, birthdays were celebrated, we showed our appreciation for one another as we hit career milestones and transitions, and we cared for one another during stressful times. She did this with grace, positivity, and humility. I hope she realizes how lucky we all feel to have worked with her and how jealous we are of the people she will work with in the future. One cannot speak about Isabelle, without mentioning her sweet dog, Ginger, who became the unofficial mascot of NY-12. In her free time, Isabelle enjoys travelling the world with her family--including trips to Brazil, Japan, Mexico City, Paris, the U.K. and Thailand. The staff love hearing about her trips and her perspective on the people, the food, and culture of the places she visits. She is a joy and an inspiration to us all. I hope she continues to find opportunities to see the world. As Isabelle moves on to a new opportunity in another Congressional office, I wish her the best of luck and lots of future successes. I thank her for her service and commend her for a job well done. ____________________”

“Mr. NADLER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and thank Andrew Heineman for nearly seven years of outstanding service to the constituents of New York's 12th Congressional District and to the United States House of Representatives. A native of California, Andrew attended California State University, Northridge, where he graduated cum laude with a degree in Political Science and International Relations. His early political work included opposing Proposition 8 in California and later serving as an organizer on the Obama for President campaign, where he was known for knocking on even the most difficult doors. Andrew later moved to Washington, D.C., where he began his congressional career in the office of Congresswoman Doris Matsui. There, he worked his way from Staff Assistant to Legislative Correspondent to Legislative Assistant. In 2019, I was fortunate to have Andrew join my Washington, D.C. office, working primarily on Transportation and Infrastructure issues, before becoming my Legislative Director in 2022. In this role, he oversaw my entire Legislative agenda, prepared bills, amendments, and statements, and provided thousands of vote recommendations. As a key member of my senior staff, Andrew has been at the center of my legislative work. He was instrumental in helping pass my landmark legislation, the Respect for Marriage Act, which enshrined marriage equality into law. Andrew worked tirelessly to ensure its passage in both the House and the Senate, and it was a privilege to celebrate with him at the White House for the bill's signing into law. He was also central to the passage of the Pregnant Workers Fairness Act, skillfully negotiating with stakeholders in Washington while simultaneously participating in a meeting with New York elected officials--demonstrating his knowledge and strong political acumen. As the head of the legislative team, he has served as a mentor for countless Legislative Staffers. Andrew has been a leader on transportation issues in my office, staffing me on the Committee and advancing critical infrastructure priorities such as the Cross Harbor Rail Project and the Gateway Tunnel, helping ensure that New York City remains the public transit capital of the world. He led our efforts to establish congestion pricing in Manhattan and fend off attacks by President Trump and Secretary Duffy. During his tenure, Andrew held hundreds of meetings with stakeholder groups from across the district, serving as a trusted representative of my office. He consistently brought deep knowledge and a strong understanding of complex issues to every engagement. He also led numerous New York Delegation letters and served as a valued resource for staff across the House. His extensive network of colleagues and friends on Capitol Hill is a testament to the respect he has earned throughout the institution. Outside of his official duties, Andrew has remained deeply involved with the California State University, Northridge Semester in Washington Program, where he teaches and mentors students pursuing careers in public service. His commitment to these students reflects dedication to helping others. I am glad that Andrew is remaining on the Hill and I am sure that I will see him around Rayburn. I look forward to seeing where his career will take him and thank him for his excellent service. ____________________”
