                    in the house of representatives

                        Tuesday, October 2, 2018

  Ms. JAYAPAL. Mr. Speaker, today I rise to proudly congratulate the 
Seattle Storm, winners of the 2018 WNBA title. To the players and 
coaches, thank you for the hard work, determination, grit and talent 
that propelled you to the end and made us all so proud of Seattle. To 
friends and families of the team, thank you for your support, 
encouragement and personal sacrifices.
  Seattle Storm, your achievement reflects not only the hard work that 
goes into winning a national championship, but also your resilience and 
dedication to one another throughout the entirety of the season. Every 
day, I feel honored to represent women like you whose work shows a 
tremendous commitment to women's issues, young girls and your 
community--a testimony of your connection to the City of Seattle. It is 
no surprise that the majority of Seattle's championships belong to the 
Storm.
  Your team embodies the values that we, in our city, hold so dearly. 
You are an incredible role model for girls and women everywhere. It is 
an honor both to serve women like you who take a stand and speak out 
for issues that are important, but also to be able to call the Storm my 
home team.
  Again, I would like to extend my warmest congratulations to you all, 
and I look forward to seeing everything that you accomplish in the 
future.
