                     CONGRATULATING RYAN REDINGTON

  (Mr. TIFFANY asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. TIFFANY. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Ryan Redington 
on winning the 2023 Iditarod Sled Dog Race, traveling almost 1,000 
miles in 8 days, 21 hours, 12 minutes, and 58 seconds.
  Ryan has competed in the Iditarod 16 times, and although he may not 
be from Wisconsin's Seventh District, he spends his fall and winter 
utilizing the lands in Douglas County to train his sled dogs for the 
race.
  This is not the Redington family's first time in the Iditarod. Ryan's 
grandfather is one of the cofounders of the race and is now known as 
the Father of the Iditarod.
  Ryan has shown us what patience and dedication look like after 
recovering from being hit by a snowmobile last year, and I am pleased 
that my district got to assist in bringing him and his dogs to victory.
  Congratulations, Ryan, on achieving your lifelong dream.
