IN RECOGNITION OF MEGAN JACKSON'S SERVICE TO KENTUCKY'S SECOND DISTRICT

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. BRETT GUTHRIE

                              of kentucky

                    in the house of representatives

                       Thursday, December 8, 2016

  Mr. GUTHRIE. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to give my sincere thanks to 
Megan Spindel Jackson, my Deputy Chief of Staff and Legislative 
Director, who will be moving on from my office at the end of this year. 
Megan has been an essential part of my office since I came to Congress, 
and she will be missed.
   Megan grew up in Hawesville, Kentucky, where her parents are still 
active in the community. Her mother was a public school teacher and 
principal in Hawesville for more than 40 years. Inspired by a call to 
serve her community, Megan moved to Washington, D.C. after graduating 
from Centre College in 2002 to serve my predecessor. She has been 
dedicated to the Second District of Kentucky ever since then.
   I first met Megan in 2008, when she moved back to Kentucky to help 
me with my first campaign. Even though she had never met me before, she 
was dedicated to the campaign from day one. When I won, she was one of 
the first people I hired to work in my D.C. office.
   Megan has been an integral part of my legislative operation since I 
was elected, and has selflessly worked to better the lives of countless 
Kentuckians. I cannot thank her enough for her years of service. Though 
I will miss her, I wish her, her husband Kyle, and their son Henry the 
best of luck as they start the next chapter of their lives.
