  Mr. MEEKS. Mr. Speaker, I was pleased to have my office participate 
in the Democratic Whip Office's fifth annual ``Member Online All-Star 
Competition.'' I applaud my colleagues for a friendly and spirited 
three week competition, and I congratulate the All-stars who led House 
Democrats in collectively acquiring over 213,000 new followers on 
social media.
  I am always delighted to find new ways to engage my constituents and 
all Americans. To that end, my staff did an outstanding job making many 
new connections. I especially commend Ladan Ahmadi in my office for her 
tremendous effort to take us to the final round with our Vine video.
  I thank the Democratic Whip for building on and fostering comity in 
the People's House. I know that we are all better off for it, and our 
work on the behalf of the American people is enhanced by it.
