                       Tuesday, December 11, 2018

  Mr. MESSER. Mr. Speaker, I rise to recognize a former member of my 
staff, Robert Goad, for his work in my office and his service to our 
state.
  Rob has been on our team from the very beginning and has worked in a 
variety of capacities, both in our Indiana and Washington, D.C. 
offices. As a senior member of my policy team, Rob was responsible for 
advising me on a variety of issues including education, financial 
services, transportation, and natural resources. He spearheaded the 
creation of the Congressional School Choice Caucus and developed 
landmark legislation expanding parental choice in education. Since 
leaving our office, Rob has gone on to serve as a Special Assistant to 
the President for Domestic Policy, focusing on education.
  On a personal note, Rob Goad is my friend. We share a love for the 
life lessons of sports and a commitment to family. I want to thank Rob 
for his patience, friendship and hard work in our office. I wish him 
continued success in all that God has planned for him and his family. 
No doubt, Rob's biggest impact on our state and Nation is yet to come. 
I will be cheering Rob on every step of the way.
