                RECOGNIZING THE SERVICE OF JON BOUGHTIN

                                 ______
                                 

                      HON. BRADLEY SCOTT SCHNEIDER

                              of illinois

                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, June 21, 2022

  Mr. SCHNEIDER. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize the service 
of Jon Boughtin, the long-serving and committed member of the New Dem 
family.
  Jon is leaving Capitol Hill this month after working for more than a 
decade in public service, including for Rep. Bill Owens, Rep. Lincoln 
Davis, and the New Democrat Coalition under Chairs Suzan DelBene and 
Derek Kilmer. Jon's meaningful member engagement will leave a lasting 
impact on the Coalition for years to come.
  As New Dems, we have 98 members focused on advocating for common 
sense policies to grow our economy, educate our kids, and lift up 
Americans from every walk of life. We cut across the gridlock and 
political division to deliver real solutions to some of the toughest 
challenges facing American families. The work is hard and unrelenting, 
but Jon faced every challenge with optimism and integrity. Our members 
are better for having worked with Jon for the last five years.
  More important than his daily work, Jon was a kind colleague to his 
peers and a dedicated advocate for all Americans throughout his career. 
His presence at the New Democrat Coalition will be sorely missed.
  On behalf of our entire Coalition, I want to thank Jon for his hard 
work and wish him and his family nothing but the best in his future 
endeavors.
