                         HONORING MOLLY EDWARDS

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. PAUL D. RYAN

                              of wisconsin

                    in the house of representatives

                      Thursday, September 20, 2018

  Mr. RYAN of Wisconsin. Mr. Speaker, I address the House today, the 
last one with Molly Edwards serving on my staff. After more than five 
years, Molly is moving on from the House, where she will be missed by 
not just me but the many with whom she worked to make this institution 
shine. A proud--very proud--North Carolina native, Molly was part of 
our team at the Ways and Means Committee, and she was there for the 
unexpected journey to the speaker's office. It has been a privilege to 
watch her take on ever-expanding roles over these years. Through hard 
work Molly earned her way to be my director of press operations. When 
dignitaries or diplomats visited or whenever the biggest events had the 
world watching the Capitol, Molly was there to ensure things always 
went off without a hitch. With a steady hand, as well as some southern 
charm, no moment was ever too big or challenge too great. Poised under 
pressure, she is a true professional. And she has always made me look 
far more polished than I really am. I am enormously grateful for 
Molly's service, and I wish her nothing but the best in her next 
adventures.
