                          FAREWELL TO CONGRESS

  (Mr. HUIZENGA asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Mr. HUIZENGA. Mr. Speaker, as the 117th Congress comes to a close, I 
rise today to say it has been an absolute honor and privilege to serve 
Michiganders across Kent, Ottawa, Muskegon, Newaygo, Oceana, Lake, 
Mason, and Allegan Counties in the current Second District.
  West Michigan is blessed to have beautiful beaches, world-class 
manufacturing, and an incredible variety of top-notch agricultural 
produce. But what makes places like Muskegon, Grand Haven, Ludington, 
Pentwater, Fremont, Baldwin, and Grandville so special are the people 
who call these communities home.
  It is embracing servant leadership. It is emphasizing the value of 
hard work, and it is fostering the drive to go the extra mile that 
makes west Michigan such a wonderful place to live, work, and raise a 
family.
  Mr. Speaker, as I say goodbye to the current Second District, I will 
never forget the residents who have called the Second Congressional 
District home over the past 10 years or the memories we have shared.
  Please know that I will continue to be a champion for you and for 
Michigan. It has been an honor and a blessing to be your voice in 
Washington.
