                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, July 27, 2021

  Mr. LaHOOD. Madam Speaker, I would like to honor and congratulate 
Brian Wagner on his retirement as National Association of Postal 
Supervisors President.
  Brian has dedicated forty-three years to the betterment of the Postal 
Service. His incredible career began in Peoria, IL, in 1978. Twelve 
years later, Brian worked his way up to the role of Delivery & Retail 
Analyst and joined the National Association of Postal Supervisors 
(NAPS). After entering the USPS Management Trainee Program, Brian 
attained the role of Customer Relations Coordinator for the Peoria 
area. He retired from this role in 2015, marking the end of his 
exceptional tenure serving the Peoria area in the Postal Service.
  Like his work for the Postal Service, Brian's involvement with NAPS 
highlights a robust effort to represent and assist his fellow postal 
workers. During his time at NAPS, Brian was President of Heart of IL 
Branch 255, Illinois State Area Vice President, and NAPS Secretary/
Treasurer. He also served on the Executive Board as Central Region Vice 
President. Brian was elected NAPS National President in 2016 and 
reelected in 2018, a testament to his lifelong commitment to and 
advocacy for the Postal Service and its employees.
  I want to express the utmost gratitude to Brian. I am certain that my 
fellow Peorians feel the same pride and respect towards him that I do. 
His career serves as an example of how to honorably serve the public. 
He has undoubtedly improved the lives of Peorians and Americans more 
broadly. Most importantly, Brian accomplished all this while being a 
loving husband, father, and grandfather. Congratulations Brian, and I 
wish you happiness and relaxation in retirement.
