                 RECOGNIZING THE HONORABLE MARCIA FUDGE

  (Mr. WENSTRUP asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. WENSTRUP. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Marcia Fudge, my 
friend, former colleague, and the current and soon-to-be-former 
Secretary of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. I 
recognize Secretary Fudge for her service to our Nation, to our great 
State of Ohio, and to her local community.
  I had the privilege of working alongside Representative Fudge for 9 
years in this Chamber, working together to tackle the issues that 
matter the most to Ohioans. She has been a tireless advocate for 
Ohioans, willing to reach across the aisle to find common ground on key 
issues, like advancing access to affordable housing.
  While we, of course, didn't always see eye to eye on everything, 
Marcia and I shared the important goal of helping Americans have the 
opportunities and resources needed to achieve the American Dream.
  I am grateful to have had a fellow Ohioan working as Secretary on 
behalf of so many of my constituents. Public servants like Secretary 
Fudge, always willing to roll up her sleeves and get to the business of 
the American people, are a credit to our community.
  I wish Marcia the best on the next stage of her journey.
