                         TRIBUTE TO ANN WAGNER

  Mrs. HYDE-SMITH. Madam President, I rise to recognize Congresswoman 
Ann Wagner, who represents the Second Congressional District of 
Missouri in the U.S. House of Representatives. Throughout her tenure in 
the House; Representative Wagner has remained an outspoken champion for 
life. Representative Wagner has worked to protect unborn life, through 
her vocal support of the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act and 
so many other pieces of pro-life legisltaion. Additionally, she has 
helped lead the charge to prevent taxpayer funding of abortion on-
demand.
  This public servant's efforts to protect vulnerable children from 
sexual exploitation and trafficking are particularly inspirational. She 
has fought hard for legislation that would increase the penalties for 
criminals who profit from sexual exploitation of innocent children.
  Representative Wagner's commitment to children both inside and 
outside the womb is commendable. I know I take inspiration from her 
years of work on behalf of vulnerable children. Therefore, I offer my 
praise and gratitude for that work as the U.S. Supreme Court takes up 
Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization, a case that could 
significantly change the landscape in terms of protecting young lives.
