                          HONORING LYNNE EGAN

                                 ______
                                 

                     HON. MATTHEW M. ROSENDALE, SR.

                               of montana

                    in the house of representatives

                       Friday, September 2, 2022

  Mr. ROSENDALE. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize the life of 
Lynne Egan, a great Montanan who recently passed away.
  Serving as the Montana Deputy Securities Commissioner for thirteen 
years and a Montana state employee for twenty-eight years, Ms. Egan was 
a relentless advocate for all Montana investors throughout her career, 
especially in the arena of investor education, and

dedicated her public service to combatting fraud wherever it might be 
found.
  Ms. Egan brought her wonderful sense of humor, infectious can-do 
attitude, and pride in a job well done to the many initiatives she 
brought forth both at home and across the Nation.
  Notably, one of Ms. Egan's initiatives was working with the Montana 
Legislature to establish the Securities Restitution Assistance Fund to 
help investors who had lost everything recoup a portion of what they 
had lost. Since its inception, this fund has returned over $7 million 
to Montana investors.
  Ms. Egan embodied the highest ideals of public service in the State 
of Montana as she used her gifts to combat financial fraud and elder 
exploitation--issues that continue to harm Americans, costing the 
citizenry over $5.8 billion per year.
  Ms. Egan's selfless commitment to serving Montanans will always be a 
defining pillar of her legacy.
