  Mr. JOYCE of Pennsylvania. Madam Speaker, it is my privilege to honor 
The Realtor Active in Politics of the Year Award, Cheryl Rawlings. This 
award recognizes an individual who has significantly advanced the 
legislative agenda of the Pennsylvania Association of Realtors through 
political involvement
  Cheryl has worked tirelessly to advance realtor interests for more 
than 15 years. Throughout her time as a member of the association, 
Rawlings personally advocated for realtor issues on the federal, state 
and local level, developing key relationships with elected officials in 
the Allegheny Highlands area and across the Commonwealth.
  Since 2002, she has served as key a contact for her Member of 
Congress through the National Association of Realtors Federal Political 
Coordinator program. Beginning with retired Congressman Bill Shuster 
and continuing with myself, Rawlings has served as the key liaison to 
her local representatives on behalf of NAR.
  Since 2017, Rawlings has served on the NAR committee guiding and 
serving Federal Political Coordinators across the country.
  At the state level, Rawlings has served as the key contact to many 
members of the Pennsylvania Senate and House of Representatives, 
educating her elected officials about issues of importance to realtors 
and property owners
  She also has been an active participant at her local realtor 
association, the Allegheny-Highland Association of Realtors.
  For more than 15 years, Rawlings has quietly served as a Realtor 
political and grassroots activist and campaign volunteer for a host of 
legislators and candidates, and she is a deserving recipient of this 
year's RAP Award for her many years of service.
  It is a privilege to congratulate Cheryl Rawlings on this incredible 
honor.
