 RECOGNIZING HELENA LOCAL AND MONTANA SENATE AIDE JACKSON RACICOT FOR 
                     HIS OUTSTANDING PUBLIC SERVICE

                                 ______
                                 

                     HON. MATTHEW M. ROSENDALE, SR.

                               of montana

                    in the house of representatives

                       Wednesday, March 29, 2023

  Mr. ROSENDALE. Mr. Speaker, it is my privilege to recognize the work 
of an outstanding young man whose service in the Montana Legislature is 
an example of the extraordinary impact those with physical disabilities 
can have on their community.
  Jack Racicot is an aide to the Montana Legislature and serves as a 
clerk for the Senate Energy and Telecommunications Committee.
  During the 2021 Legislative Session, Jack was on a snowboarding trip 
at Great Divide Ski Area near Helena where he suffered a debilitating 
accident that crushed his C5 vertebrae and left him paralyzed from the 
neck down.
  After an extensive recovery at the University of Utah Medical Center, 
Jack returned to the Senate as an aide in the 68th Legislative Session 
and continues to serve with distinction to this day. Jack's courageous 
return to work is a poignant reminder of the strength of Montana's 
young men and women.
  I'm humbled to see such a dedicated young man serving his state 
despite his injuries, and I am proud to recognize him in the United 
States House of Representatives.
