     IN RECOGNITION OF MARY KATE ``MK'' McTAGUE FOR THREE YEARS OF 
                          OUTSTANDING SERVICE

                                 ______
                                 

                         HON. SUZAN K. DelBENE

                             of washington

                    in the house of representatives

                      Wednesday, November 17, 2021

  Ms. DelBENE. Madam Speaker, I rise today to thank Mary Kate McTague 
for three years of invaluable service to my office and my constituents 
in Washington's 1st Congressional District. Mary Kate joined my office 
as an intern in September 2018, became my scheduler in January 2019, 
and was promoted to director of operations in May 2021. In each of 
these roles, Mary Kate exceeded the mark and met the challenges that 
come with running congressional operations with her signature 
resourcefulness, quick wit, and joyful personality. Over her tenure, 
she played an instrumental role in overseeing the smooth management of 
a fast-paced office and shaping internal processes--all while building 
lasting relationships with my team and those who had the pleasure of 
getting to know her. Mary Kate has grown into an amazing leader, and we 
will sorely miss her.
  Madam Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in honoring Mary Kate 
and wishing her the best on her next step, one that she will 
undoubtedly rise to meet and make the most of.

                          ____________________
