THANK YOU, CANDACE RICH
(Mr. WILSON of South Carolina asked and was given permission to
address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
Mr. WILSON of South Carolina. Madam Speaker, it is with sincere
gratitude and appreciation I have the opportunity to recognize Candace
Rich, legislative assistant for South Carolina's Second Congressional
District. I will always appreciate Candace for her years of service on
behalf of the people of South Carolina.
A native of Virginia, Candace is an esteemed alumna of the University
of South Carolina, with degrees in history and political science. She
also earned a master's of arts in instruction and curriculum from
Angelo State University.
She is truly dedicated to public service, beginning as an intern in
the district office starting in 2010 before joining the staff in 2014.
Candace's experience on healthcare, education, and workforce issues,
combined with a genuine desire to serve constituents, has made a
difference. Candace was crucial in helping Republicans pass and have
signed a record number of bills this year.
It is with mixed feelings but great happiness that I bid Candace
farewell. She is moving on next week to a new role teaching social
studies at Central High School in San Angelo, Texas. I know her
parents, Tim and Angela, along with her brothers, Aaron and Adam, join
me in recognizing her achievements.
In conclusion, God bless our troops, and we will never forget
September the 11th in the global war on terrorism.
