                     Wednesday, September 18, 2024

  Mrs. WAGNER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the life of Jaci 
Winship.
  My team and I are absolutely devastated that Jaci Winship, our Senior 
Community Liaison, passed away this week. Over the past decade, Jaci 
has faithfully served the people of Missouri's 2nd District with 
compassion and dedication. She has been a core part of the team from 
the very beginning, and her passion for her work shined through in all 
she did.
  Jaci's commitment to helping the most vulnerable truly made our 
community better each and every day. She was a leader in our fight 
against human trafficking and in helping victims of domestic violence. 
Local advocates and community leaders knew they could count on her when 
they needed help at all hours of the day.
  She had an innate desire to help others and foster a stronger, more 
creative, and more hardworking next generation of students. She worked 
with high school students and art teachers as the head of our 
Congressional Art Competition, she championed emerging leaders in the 
tech space during the Congressional App Challenge, and she was a 
tireless advocate for students serving our Nation in United States 
Service Academies. The future is bright in Missouri thanks to Jaci's 
work pushing students to work even harder and break out of their 
comfort zones.
  Jaci served in numerous positions throughout the Missouri Republican 
Party. Whether she was working on a campaign for office or leading an 
issue-related organization, her passion inspired others to excellence. 
Called by her unwavering faith to Jesus Christ, Jaci was a staunch 
defender of the unborn and an activist in the pro-life community. She 
was a champion of Israel and the Jewish community here in St. Louis 
where she made numerous friends and touched countless lives through her 
advocacy.
  Jaci was a fighter for those in need, a deeply caring coworker, and a 
loving mother. My heart breaks knowing she is no longer with us. She 
made us all better people and we will be forever grateful to have known 
her.
