                       RECOGNIZING NICOLE SCHMITT

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. ZACHARY NUNN

                                of iowa

                    in the house of representatives

                      Wednesday, February 26, 2025

  Mr. NUNN of Iowa. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in recognition of the 
extraordinary work delivered by Nicole Schmitt, our Director of 
Operations and Scheduler. Throughout her tenure in our office, she 
helped direct a dynamic and highly effective professional team, 
including recruiting and supervising staff assistants and Congressional 
interns.
  During her tenure, Nicole executed many top-tier engagements, 
including meetings for foreign heads of state, national travel, and 
managing the 2025 Presidential Inauguration events for approximately 
five hundred Iowans who came to visit the Nation's capital.
  Further, Nicole proved pivotal in helping the team work with 
stakeholders across the state and the aisle to earn our team the Top-10 
most bipartisan member of Congress, by focusing on delivering results.
  Equally, Nicole helped organize a series of ``after-hours'' Capitol 
tours and joined me in leading constituents on a unique historical look 
of the hallowed halls of Congress--just ask her about the Senate 
chandelier.
  Leveraging her naturally spirited personality and proven expertise as 
a Parliamentary Intern in the Houses of the Oireachtas, Ireland, and 
clerk in the Iowa House of Representatives, Nicole remains successful 
in bringing people together to accomplish great things.
  Most importantly, Nicole is a friend to us all, not least of all my 
kids, who will always remember her scavenger hunts during their Junior 
Congresswoman visits in Washington, D.C. We are grateful for her 
service with our team and wish her success as she returns to the Great 
State of Iowa, and all the victories Iowa State football can provide 
her.
  The distinctive accomplishments of Nicole's service reflect well upon 
herself, the people of Iowa, and the United States.
