CONGRATULATING THE KANSAS CITY CHIEFS ON THEIR VICTORY IN SUPER BOWL
LVII
Mr. MORAN. Mr. President, for the second time in four seasons, the
Kansas City Chiefs are the Super Bowl champions. Head Coach Andy Reid,
Patrick Mahomes, and Travis Kelce cemented their Hall of Fame careers
with another incredible season and Super Bowl LVII victory.
I want to acknowledge Chiefs owner Clark Hunt and Chiefs president
Mark Donovan for running an exceptional organization and building the
foundation for this remarkable team.
Chiefs Kingdom, ranging from Kansas to Missouri--and sometimes it is
one of the few things that Kansans and Missourians agree on, or at
least we pretend to agree on or disagree on other things. Chiefs
Kingdom, ranging from
[[Page S437]]
Kansas to Missouri and all across the Midwest, has the best fans in the
NFL, and I look forward to the fan base growing even bigger as the
Chiefs continue their dynasty for many years to come.
I congratulate Kathy Nelson with the Kansas City Sports Commission
and Kansas City Mayor Quinton Lucas on a successful Super Bowl Parade
that had an estimated 1 million people from Kansas and Missouri in
attendance.
Congratulations also to the training and medical staff from the
University of Kansas Health System for getting the Chiefs players
healthy and ready to win Super Bowl LVII.
Kansas City will, again, be in the spotlight soon as we host the NFL
draft this April.
I look forward to showcasing what Kansas and Kansas City has to offer
as we continue to grow our region.
Congratulations to the entire Kansas City Chiefs organization.
I yield to my colleague and friend, the senior Senator from Missouri.
The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Missouri.
Mr. HAWLEY. Mr. President, I thank Senator Moran for the opportunity
to say a few words and congratulations to the Kansas City Chiefs and
all of Chiefs Kingdom. I just want to add my words of congratulations
to the Hunt family. To Clark and Tavia and all of their kids, thank you
for your friendship, thank you for your tremendous leadership.
I want to say congratulations to the president of the Chiefs, Mark
Donovan, to Andy Reid, and I particularly want to add a word of
congratulations to my friend Harrison Butker, who delivered the game-
winning kick, both in the AFC Championship and also in the Super Bowl.
He had a tremendous, tremendous season. Of course, the entire team had
a tremendous season. But, just on a personal note to Harrison, well
done, man--as you would say, to the heights.
So congratulations to all of the team, and I look forward to seeing
this resolution and the memorialization of this victory entered into
the Congressional Record.
With that, I yield back to the Senator from Kansas.
Mr. MORAN. I thank my colleague from Missouri.
