      HONORING ANDREA ROPER FOR HER SERVICE TO WASHINGTON'S SIXTH 
                         CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT

  (Mr. KILMER asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. KILMER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Andrea Roper for her 
12 years of working on behalf of Washington's Sixth Congressional 
District.
  A graduate UW-Tacoma, Andrea started on our team as a scheduler, went 
on to do outreach in Kitsap County, and is departing as our district 
director and deputy chief of staff.
  Every day, she has shown professionalism managing an amazing team and 
being available and responsive to constituents around clock. Every day 
she has been committed to solving problems, whether leading the charge 
to fix traffic challenges in Gorst or advancing economic development 
initiatives for communities across our district. Every day, she has 
remembered

that the people of our district are our bosses.
  Andrea developed and oversaw a community project funding process for 
our office that should be the model of how things work, bringing 
efficiency, community input, and accountability into the process.
  Andrea will soon be bringing her talents to the city of Tacoma where 
I am confident she will do great.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask you to join me in thanking Andrea Roper for her 
service and wishing her well.
