  Mr. GALLAGHER. Mr. Speaker, it is my great pleasure to recognize one 
of my Legislative Assistants, Grace Paul, for her service to 
Wisconsin's Eighth Congressional District.
  Following her graduation from UW-Madison with a degree in 
International and Global Studies in 2020, Grace began her career in my 
Washington, D.C. office. She has served in more positions than anyone 
else on my staff. She has been a Staff Assistant, Press Assistant, 
Legislative Correspondent, and Legislative Assistant. Through her long 
tenure, Grace has become an expert on Northeast Wisconsin. She has 
visited every county in my district, captured photos of Luxemburg farm 
fields, Big Smokey Falls, and Door County Forgeworks, and most 
importantly, despite her Chicago ties, Grace has cheered on the Packers 
at Lambeau Field.
  Through her many roles, she exemplified the true meaning of hard work 
while overseeing interns, corresponding with constituents, supporting 
my communications team,

and drafting legislation. As a Press Assistant, she was integral in 
producing my podcast, the NEW Look, and helped grow my audience far 
beyond the tens of listeners we had when the podcast first started. And 
she helped create the NEWsflash, our monthly newsletter that's become a 
staple of my constituent correspondence. As a Legislative Assistant, 
Grace handled my committee work on the Transportation and 
Infrastructure Committee, as well as Postal, Trade, Immigration, Small 
Business, and Law Enforcement issues. In this role, Grace built 
relationships with hundreds of constituents across the district and 
served them all incredibly well. Using her experience, Grace has helped 
move along legislation that will make a lasting impact on Northeast 
Wisconsin. For example, just this week the Motor Carrier Safety 
Selection Standard Act moved through committee markup for the first 
time with her help. Grace has been a valuable member of my team and an 
asset to Northeast Wisconsin.
  I wish Grace the best of luck as she pursues her law degree. I am 
sure she will continue to excel in her future endeavors, and I thank 
her for her years of hard work and dedication.
