                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. ERIC SORENSEN

                              of illinois

                    in the house of representatives

                        Friday, December 1, 2023

  Mr. SORENSEN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Peyton 
Sallows of Port Byron, Illinois on receiving the Civilian First 
Responder Hero Award from Black Hawk College in Moline, Illinois.
  This past September, Peyton Sallows, a bright 7-year-old from Port 
Byron, showed a remarkable amount of courage when her mother Ali 
experienced severe anaphylactic shock. Peyton quickly called 911 and 
calmly spoke to the dispatcher. Her bravery and ability to stay calm 
during an extremely stressful situation saved her mother's life. Her 
actions allowed first responders to arrive quickly and conduct 
lifesaving treatment. It is an honor to have a child as bright and 
courageous as Peyton in the district I get to represent in Congress. I 
can't wait to see where this bravery leads her in the future.
  Mr. Speaker, I would like to formally congratulate Peyton on 
receiving this much deserved ``Civilian First Responder Hero Award'' 
from Black Hawk College. I join the rest of the community in thanking 
her for her incredible display of courage and bravery during an 
extremely challenging situation.
