                     CONGRATULATING MIRANDA TINGLE

  (Mr. SORENSEN asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. SORENSEN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Miranda 
Tingle for her congressional service to the people of central and 
northwestern Illinois.
  More than 10 years ago, she began her career in Congress working for 
my predecessor, Congresswoman Cheri Bustos. Miranda found the job of 
casework to be meaningful and something that she could do to change 
lives for the better.
  When Cheri Bustos retired from Congress, I was thankful that Miranda 
wanted to continue serving the people in our community. Miranda has 
spent more than a decade going above and beyond for every person that 
we serve in Illinois' 17th Congressional District.
  One of my constituents wrote to me and said: ``Miranda was very clear 
that she couldn't make any promises, but she made it happen. Every 
question I had, every email or phone call was always returned within 
hours. I am forever grateful.''
  That is who Miranda is, going above and beyond consistently to ensure 
that we do right by the people that we serve. People like Miranda are 
hard to come by around here, true public servants who give of 
themselves for the sake of their communities.
  The countless people helped by Miranda, as well as her teammates in 
our office, are better off today because she made a difference with all 
of us.
  Mr. Speaker, as Miranda prepares to close the congressional chapter 
of her career, I thank her for years of dedicated congressional 
service.
  Miranda embodies the belief that no time is better spent than time 
spent in service to our fellow neighbors.
