                     CONGRATULATING LAS VEGAS ACES

  (Mr. HORSFORD asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. HORSFORD. Mr. Speaker, I rise today with great pride to 
congratulate our own Las Vegas Aces on their remarkable achievement of 
back-to-back WNBA Championship wins.
  This team has done it again. Their hard work, talent, and teamwork 
have demonstrated what a never-give-up attitude can achieve, battling 
past setbacks from injuries, including star and last year's Finals MVP 
Chelsea Gray.
  I recognize this year's Finals MVP, A'ja Wilson, and the Aces' coach, 
Becky Hammon.
  Mr. Speaker, it is not every day that a city gets to celebrate three 
championships in just over a year, two from the Las Vegas Aces. That is 
why I was proud to join Vice President Kamala Harris in recognizing the 
team at the White House in August.
  Las Vegas is a city of champions. For the second straight year, the 
team finished with the best regular season record.
  Mr. Speaker, I congratulate everyone on this achievement, especially 
the players and coaching staff.

  Southern Nevada is excited to see more of what this team has, and we 
look forward to many more successes.
