                         HON. ROBERT J. WITTMAN

                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, November 21, 2023

  Mr. WITTMAN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in recognition of Chris Jones 
and his service to Virginia's First District, commonly called 
``America's First District'' and the Nation. This is both a moment of 
reflection and a time to express our heartfelt appreciation for a job 
well done.
  Chris began his career in public service as a District Representative 
for my predecessor, Rep. Jo Ann Davis, covering the regions of the 
Middle Peninsula and the Northern Neck, Chris' family has called the 
Northern Neck home for generations. Chris joined my office in 2007 and 
worked his way up to Deputy District Director. Chris has been the 
epitome of public service excellence, a dedication of over 20 years to 
the betterment of our community, our Commonwealth, and our nation. His 
journey has been one of tireless effort, navigation through the 
complexities of government--from the local, state, and federal--to 
serve citizens with grace, resilience, and an unyielding sense of 
purpose.
  During Chris' tenure, he has been a beacon of leadership, inspiring 
those around him to strive for excellence and to uphold the values that 
define our Congressional office and as a true Virginia gentleman. 
Chris' genuine concern for the well-being of America's First District 
citizens, has left an indelible mark on all of us.
  Today is not only a farewell; it's a moment to express our deepest 
gratitude. Chris' tireless dedication has set a standard for excellence 
that will be hard to match. His infectious enthusiasm will be sorely 
missed, but Chris' legacy will undoubtedly endure in the continued 
success of America's First District constituent services.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask you to join me in recognizing the service and 
accomplishments of Chris Jones. May God bless Chris, and I look forward 
to seeing his continued success in the future.
