              CLAIRE JEFFRESS EXCELS ON AND OFF THE FIELD

                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. PETE OLSON

                                of texas

                    in the house of representatives

                      Tuesday, September 27, 2016

  Mr. OLSON. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Claire Jeffress of 
Pearland, TX for her outstanding extracurricular activities on and off 
the field.
  As a strong soccer player, it was a natural fit for Claire to start 
playing football in seventh grade. Now a varsity football player at 
Dawson High School, Claire is the kicker for the Eagles and has proven 
she can hold her own with her teammates. When she's not kicking her way 
to victory on the football field, Claire puts her leadership skills to 
work as a member of my Congressional Youth Advisory Council (CYAC). In 
her second year as part of CYAC, Claire joins 19 other high school 
students who provide me with critical input on issues they face, while 
also hearing from community leaders throughout the year.
  On behalf of the Twenty-Second Congressional District of Texas, I 
thank Claire Jeffress for all of her contributions to our community. We 
are proud of her for breaking barriers and setting a great example for 
other young girls. We expect great things from her in the future.
