RECOGNIZING EMILY TUTTLE-MILLARD
(Mr. NUNN of Iowa asked and was given permission to address the House
for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
Mr. NUNN of Iowa. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in recognition of Emily
Tuttle-Millard, our deputy chief of staff.
Over the course of Emily's tenure, she has served in numerous roles,
consistently demonstrating her professionalism and extraordinary work
ethic, with a steadfast dedication to excellence.
Emily was not only a vital member of our team, but she was also an
integral force behind our success for folks back home in Iowa.
As deputy chief of staff, Emily tackled strategic goals, including
our passage of legislation to address veteran suicide with the Daniel
J. Harvey, Jr. and Adam Lambert Improving Servicemember Transition to
Reduce Veteran Suicide Act, helping support couples to start a family
with the HOPE with Fertility Services Act, and delivering on U.S.
national security priorities enshrined in the National Defense
Authorization Act. As a fighter for folks in the heart of the
heartland, she helped lead more amendments to the prestigious farm bill
than nearly any other Member in Congress.
Further, Emily worked across the State and across the aisle to earn
bipartisan support and helped our team be in the top 10 most bipartisan
Members of Congress.
Throughout her tenure, Emily has been a true plankholder from day
one. Whether she was operating in a role as communications director,
scheduler, or, ultimately, deputy chief, she has continued to be a true
mentor.
I thank Emily for all she has done for our team, especially her
ability to foster collaboration and growth and to create a more united
effort. Despite her University of Illinois pedigree, she will always be
an Iowan and a Hawkeye at heart, from the corn dogs at the State fair
to winning friends under the golden dome in Des Moines to right here at
the marble steps of the U.S. Capitol.
Our country, our State, and our family are grateful for her service,
and we wish her great success in her next adventure.
