                      RECOGNIZING BRIAN MATHIOWETZ

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. BRAD FINSTAD

                              of minnesota

                    in the house of representatives

                      Thursday, February 27, 2025

  Mr. FINSTAD. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize a community 
leader and my good friend, Brian Mathiowetz, who received the 2024 
Lifetime Achievement Award from the Associated General Contractors last 
Tuesday.
  Brian joined the family business, Mathiowetz Construction, full-time 
in 1981, working for his father Richard.
  Brian quickly proved to be a driving force behind the company's 
growing success, recognizing early on that good businesses invest in 
good people.
  Across southern Minnesota, Mathiowetz Construction has become a 
respected name in the industry, relied upon by federal, state, and 
local partners, as well as commercial and private customers who have 
trusted Brian and his family business to bring these important projects 
to completion.
  His leadership has grown the now-fourth-generation company into one 
of southern Minnesota's leading employers. Brian has contributed in 
many ways to the growth and development of Minnesota's First 
Congressional District, building many of the roads and bridges that 
connect us to our families and neighbors.
  To me, there is no one more deserving of this Lifetime Achievement 
Award. I congratulate Brian on earning this accomplishment and thank 
him for his years of dedication to building a better community for all 
of us in southern Minnesota.
