      RECOGNIZING MATTHEW SIMON'S LIFELONG SERVICE TO OUR COUNTRY

  (Mrs. LESKO asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mrs. LESKO. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize someone whose 
lifelong service to our Nation has been a blessing to me and countless 
others, Matthew Simon.
  Welcome to the House gallery, Matt. I am so glad you are here.
  Through his time teaching in rural classrooms with Teach for America 
to his years at the Arizona State Legislature as an education policy 
staffer and his service on my staff as chief of staff, Matt has been a 
steadfast public servant, committed to advancing policies that empower 
young people and improve their lives.
  Throughout my time in office, Matt has been a reliable counselor and 
a dedicated member of my team. Even after he left my office to move 
home to Arizona, he still helped me. I look forward to continuing to 
work with Matt in the future.
  Madam Speaker, the State of Arizona and our Nation are in good hands 
with thoughtful young leaders like Matt Simon at the helm.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Chair reminds Members that the rules do 
not allow references to persons in the gallery.
