                       Monday, February 25, 2019

  Ms. STEVENS. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize Colin Allred 
and his wife Alexandra on congratulating them for their newborn son, 
Jordan Eber Allred.
  As Co-Presidents of the Democratic Freshman Class, Colin and I have 
bonded during this remarkable time in our lives. Colin's successes as 
an athlete, as a civil rights lawyer, and now in Congress have prepared 
him to be a remarkable father. Colin's commitment to put others before 
himself transcends every professional action he has taken. It is my 
honor and that of our vibrant freshman class to be working by his side 
at such a special time for his family.
  The beauty of life is embodied in Jordan and reminds us of what we're 
all here for--to make this country a better place for our next of kin, 
our loved ones, and our fellow citizens. Let us reflect on this miracle 
and work to make this country a better country for Jordan.
  Madam Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in welcoming Jordan 
into this world. I couldn't be happier.
