                       Thursday, January 18, 2024

  Mr. CARTER of Georgia. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate 
Lauren Curry on becoming the new Chief of Staff for Gov. Brian Kemp.
  Lauren has made history, once again, this time becoming the first 
woman to permanently hold the position. Previously, she made history 
when she became the first female deputy Chief of Staff to the governor.
  Lauren graduated with a bachelor's from Wofford College. She then 
pursued a master's from the University of Georgia.
  Her entire career has been dedicated to public service. She has held 
an array of impressive positions in state government, such as Deputy 
Director of Georgia's Environmental Protection Division, and Director 
of government and public affairs at the Georgia DNR.
  Lauren is also a veteran of Governor Kemp's staff, having served as 
his Chief Operating Officer and as his director of governmental affairs 
and policy.
  I congratulate Lauren. I cannot think of anyone more deserving of 
this position.
