RECOGNIZING MY CONSTITUENT ADVOCATE, DAVID CHERNACK, FOR HIS EXCELLENT

                                 ______

                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, June 13, 2024

  Mr. PHILLIPS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize my Constituent 
Advocate, David Chernack, for his work on behalf of every constituent 
in Minnesota's Third Congressional District. At the end of April, David 
departed my office for a new opportunity to serve as the Immigration 
Constituent Advocate in the Office of Rep. Angie Craig, and I could not 
be more proud or grateful for his service.
  Hailing from California, David came to Minnesota for college at the 
University of Minnesota. While in college, David got hooked on 
Minnesota politics and spent time interning for Senator Amy Klobuchar 
and Governor Tim Walz before graduating and joining our office.
  The constituents of Minnesota's Third District were fortunate to be 
served by David who always went the extra mile to help a constituent in 
need. David's ability to treat each individual as if they were his top 
priority has impressed our entire office. In under a year, he held two 
job titles- Staff Assistant and Hospitality Director and most recently, 
Constituent Advocate- and brought intellectual rigor, tireless 
dedication, and trademark quirkiness to each role. Our fondest memories 
include his drives to random parking lots to shepherd lost constituents 
to our office, lunches consisting of three variations of simple carbs 
with no protein or produce in sight, and expressions of undying 
gratitude when given even the smallest treat.
  The people of Minnesota's Third Congressional District were lucky to 
have his dedication and leadership, and he will be dearly missed. 
However, I'm extraordinarily happy that he will continue to do this 
work and serve the Nation and the people of Minnesota's Second 
Congressional District. I wish David all the best in his future 
endeavors and thank him for a year of faithful service to this Nation--
and many more to come.
