                         HONORING ALEXIA COSMAN

                                 ______
                                 

                        HON. FREDERICA S. WILSON

                               of florida

                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, July 11, 2023

  Ms. WILSON of Florida. Mr. Speaker, I rise to honor the service and 
accomplishments of Alexia Cosman, my intern who is transitioning from 
my office to continue her mission.
  A Florida native with Canadian origins, Alexia came to my office 
ready to change the American environmental system. While in my office, 
Alexia has pushed my transportation and infrastructure agenda to great 
lengths--from drafting memos, to organizing information, to researching 
environmental data.
  In our time together, I have recognized that Alexia is a force in 
environmental policy. Her passion has been powerful over the semester 
as we have fought for the lives of underserved and disadvantaged 
communities. Her commitment to environmental justice has led Alexia to 
spearhead a study examining the diversity and density of microbes, and 
she later presented her findings at an American Society of Microbiology 
research symposium. Alexia has and will continue to make a difference 
and leave her mark on environmental policy as she continues to fight 
for a better system.
  On behalf of Florida's 24th Congressional District, I ask my 
colleagues to join me in honoring Alexia Cosman for her exemplary 
accomplishments, dedication to public service, and trailblazing 
leadership.
