         CONGRATULATING LAS VEGAS ACES ON WNBA CHAMPIONSHIP WIN

  (Mr. HORSFORD asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. HORSFORD. Mr. Speaker, I rise today with excitement to 
congratulate the Las Vegas Aces for winning the 2022 WNBA finals.
  The Las Vegas Aces are the first Las Vegas-based team to bring home a 
professional sports championship. Before winning the championship, this 
team was built for success, having the best regular season record this 
year.
  Forward A'ja Wilson was named the WNBA Most Valuable Player for the 
second time in her career, and during the semifinals, point guard 
Chelsea Gray became the first player in WNBA history with more than 30 
points and 10 assists in a playoff game.
  In her first year as head coach, Becky Hammon led this championship 
team with determination and poise.

  Congratulations to the Las Vegas Aces players, coaches, and 
leadership for this incredible victory.
  I look forward to celebrating this championship and the many more to 
come. Go Aces.
