  Mr. LAMBORN. Madam Speaker, it is with mixed emotions that I announce 
the departure of a valued member of my staff, Craig M. Rushing.
  For the past three years, Craig has professionally and 
enthusiastically served the constituents of the Fifth Congressional 
District of Colorado, first as Legislative Director, and then as Deputy 
Chief of Staff and Legislative Director. He successfully handled his 
duties with a wealth of knowledge of the legislative and procedural 
processes. His dedication and work ethic will be very difficult to 
replace.
  Beginning his career on the Hill as a staff assistant for Rep. 
Marilyn Musgrave (CO-04), Craig has served constituents of Colorado for 
nearly eight years. It was during this time he met and married his 
wife, Ginger, in August of 2007.
  Craig worked his way through college with several jobs and 
internships, including with the Colorado Right to Work and the 
Leadership Institute. Craig graduated from the University of North 
Carolina at Greensboro in 2002 with a Bachelor of Science in Economics.
  Craig is the son of Dennis and Kathy Rushing of Greensboro, North 
Carolina, and is brother to Amy Bregman and Betsy Bardi.
  Craig is leaving Washington to take a position as Manager of 
Government Affairs at Lowe's Headquarters in Mooresville, North 
Carolina.
  He has worked hard for the people of Colorado. His conservative and 
Christian values are needed today more than ever. I know God will bless 
him and his wife in their future endeavors.
