CONGRATULATING SHALISA AND MISHAY DAVIS ON THEIR GRADUATION
(Ms. KAPTUR asked and was given permission to address the House for 1
minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
Ms. KAPTUR. Madam Speaker, last week we celebrated both National
Nurses Week and Mother's Day. Today, I rise to highlight a Great Lake
story of perseverance that ties them both together.
Shalisa and Mishay Davis, mother and daughter, are from Detroit,
Michigan. This spring they graduated together on the same day in
Toledo, Ohio, both with nursing degrees.
When a mother watches their daughter or son graduate from college, it
is a larger-than-life moment, but to do it together is something
unforgettable. You don't often get to follow so closely in your
mother's footsteps.
Mishay passed her boards and plans to continue schooling and hopes to
become a family practitioner. Shalisa wants to open her own clinic to
help communities with limited access to healthcare. Bravo.
Congratulations to mother and daughter on their proud
accomplishments. Bravo for embarking on a noble

journey to help strengthen healthcare in our region.
May all nurses in Ohio's Ninth District and beyond prevail in their
dedication to care for and heal the people of our Nation.
