                         Tuesday, May 11, 2021

  Ms. CRAIG. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor the career of Ms. 
Bonnie Brueshoff, Director for the Dakota County Public Health 
Department located in West St. Paul, Minnesota, who is retiring after 
27 years of service and dedication to the public health efforts of 
Minnesota.
  Throughout her career, Ms. Brueshoff exhibited a commitment to 
bettering our community by chairing numerous health official boards, 
such as the National Association of County and City Health Officials. 
Time and time again, she contributed her expertise on both a state and 
national level to molding the next generation of public health 
practitioners. With her leadership, in 2019, the Dakota County Public 
Health Department was nationally recognized for its innovative 
initiatives to promote health awareness in our state.
  As we continue to persevere through these unprecedented times, we 
must never forget to recognize our heroes at the forefront of the fight 
against COVID-19. Ms. Brueshoff, alongside so many others, exemplifies 
the true meaning of public service in the realm of civic wellness. Her 
career is a testament to the character of our district and our 
determination to assist those in need.
  I rise on behalf of the 2nd Congressional district of Minnesota, 
expressing my deepest gratitude to her commitment to the health of our 
community. She created a legacy I know many hope to emulate. I 
congratulate Ms. Brueshoff for her many years of leadership and wish 
her the best as she embarks on her well-deserved retirement.
