            RECOGNIZING PEYTON BOLLING, MISS AMERICA'S TEEN

  (Mr. Womack of Arkansas was recognized to address the House for 5 
minutes.)
  Mr. WOMACK. Madam Speaker, I rise today to congratulate one of 
Arkansas's own, Peyton Bolling. She was crowned recently as Miss 
America's Teen, and she made history in doing so, the first Miss 
Arkansas' Teen to win the coveted title of Miss America's Teen.
  Madam Speaker, this comes just a year after another Arkansan, in this 
case, Madison Marsh of Fort Smith, Arkansas, was crowned Miss America 
2024.
  When Peyton Bolling came to my office last year, she shared with me 
her passion for civic engagement, an issue that demands the attention 
of our next generation of leaders. Her passion to serve began at a 
young age as a daughter of a U.S. Marine Corps colonel.
  Peyton's dedication only grew in time as she witnessed government in 
action as a U.S. Senate page. Now, she is taking her passion 
nationwide, encouraging our young people to get involved and shape 
their communities for the better.
  This Rogers, Arkansas, native and proud Bentonville High School Tiger 
has made Arkansas proud.
  I congratulate Peyton. I look forward to seeing all that she 
accomplishes as Miss America's Teen and beyond.
