                       Friday, November 16, 2018

  Ms. STEFANIK. Mr. Speaker, the work we do each day in Congress would 
not be possible without the tremendous efforts of our dedicated and 
talented staff.
  Today I rise to recognize an especially valuable member of my team 
who is soon departing our office.
  Madeline Donovan has been serving the needs of our North Country 
community since 2010, when she began working for constituents of our 
district in the office of my predecessor, Congressman Bill Owens.

  The daughter of Timothy and Laura Donovan, Maddie was born and raised 
in Oswego, New York, and has enthusiastically worked on behalf of her 
community since she was a child, as a founding member of St. Stephen 
the King's Youth Group, a member of Oswego County's Youth Court, and an 
officer on Oswego County's Student Advisory Council.
  She is a graduate of Nazareth College of Rochester and has called 
Watertown, New York, home for the past eight years.
  Maddie is passionate about her home state. She loves discussing the 
remarkable history of our region and is always eager to point out to 
others just what makes Northern New York so unique. Whenever I travel 
across our great district, I run into veterans, seniors and farmers 
that she has worked tirelessly to help. I know that she will always 
carry a piece of the North Country with her in her heart, and it is 
bittersweet to wish Maddie all my best going forward.
  I am grateful for her incredible service to our district.
