                        Monday, December 3, 2018

  Mr. MESSER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Indianapolis Star 
columnist Matthew Tully, who recently passed away at the age of 49 
following a two-year battle with cancer.
  My heart broke to learn of Matt's passing. To me, Matt was Indiana's 
most prominent political writer. We didn't always agree, but I never 
questioned that Matt was doing his best to get the facts and 
communicate the truth as he saw it. Most importantly, he was an even 
better person and I considered him a great friend.
  Matt is survived by his wife, Valerie, and their 7-year-old son, 
Reid. The Messer family will continue praying for his family as they 
mourn his passing.
