                    in the house of representatives

                        Monday, December 3, 2018

  Mr. MESSER. Mr. Speaker, I rise to recognize a dedicated member of my 
staff, Jake Vreeburg, for his work in my office and his service to our 
state.
  Jake has been a part of our team for the past four years, first as 
our Legislative Director and then as the Staff Director for the House 
Republican Policy Committee. Jake writes, reviews, and edits the 
Legislative Digest, a daily summary of legislation considered by the 
House of Representatives and distributed to 2,500 staff and Members. As 
Legislative Director, he led efforts to build support for programs, 
bills, and events that advanced my legislative agenda. Jake has been a 
close confidant and trusted adviser throughout my time in Congress.
  On a personal note, Jake is a gifted leader who was far more than an 
advisor to me. He is my friend. I admire Jake's integrity, persistence 
and loyalty. I wish Jake continued success in all that God has planned 
for him and his family. I have no doubt Jake's biggest impact on our 
nation are yet to come. I look forward to cheering Jake on in those 
efforts.
