RECOGNIZING KEVIN KLINKENBERG FOR OVER TWO YEARS OF SERVICE TO THE NEW 
                           DEMOCRAT COALITION

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. ANN M. KUSTER

                    in the house of representatives

                         Monday, July 10, 2023

  Ms. KUSTER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to acknowledge the service of 
one of the New Democrat Coalition's most exceptional staffers, Kevin 
Klinkenberg. Kevin recently left the Coalition to begin his tenure as a 
Senior Advisor and Congressional Liaison at the U.S. Department of 
Health and Human Services (HHS). I can truly say that HHS and all 
Americans are lucky to have him in this role.
  In his 2 years with the Coalition, including my tenure as Chair of 
the New Democrat Coalition, Kevin proved himself to be an invaluable 
asset who shaped our policy work and outreach efforts. From health care 
and trade to immigration, Kevin's work was exemplary. We would not have 
been able to accomplish all that we have without Kevin's presence on 
our team.
  Kevin also led the New Dems' outreach work, forming critical 
relationships with important stakeholder groups, from labor to the 
business community. His commitment to expanding the reach of the New 
Dems has positively impacted each of our nearly 100 members, including 
me, and his work will continue to benefit the Coalition long after his 
departure.
  Kevin has not only contributed to the Coalition through his superb 
work but also through

his kind and collaborative spirit which is known to all those who had 
the privilege of working with him. Although we are sad to see him go, 
we know that Kevin will excel in his new role, and I wish him the very 
best in all his future endeavors.
