                        Tuesday, April 29, 2025

  Mr. JACKSON of Texas. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and 
express my deepest gratitude to my former Chief of Staff, Jeffery 
Ronald Billman of Irving, Texas, for his dedicated service, steadfast 
leadership, and unwavering commitment to the people of Texas' 
Thirteenth Congressional District. As my first Chief of Staff, Jeff 
played an instrumental role in helping me to become a better Member of 
Congress, advancing the interests of Texas Thirteen, and ensuring that 
my constituents received the representation they truly deserve.
  Jeff, a native from Sacramento, California, found himself interested 
in American History and Politics, which brought him to the University 
of Dallas, where he received his bachelor's degree in history and a 
master's degrees in American studies. Following graduation, Jeff moved 
to Washington, D.C. and started his career in public service.
  Throughout his time in Washington, Jeff's distinguished career 
included serving as a Special Assistant to the Chief Deputy Whip for 
Deputy Whip Peter Roskam, Legislative Assistant for Congressman Peter 
Roskam, Deputy Chief of Staff for Congressman Peter Roskam, Deputy 
Chief of Staff for Congressman Kevin Hern, and Legislative Director and 
Deputy Chief of Staff for Ranking Member Kevin Brady before coming to 
Team Jackson as my Chief of Staff. His extensive experience, knowledge, 
and leadership in these roles have helped shape policy and governance 
at the highest levels.
  During his tenure in my office, Jeff was instrumental in my success 
on the House Armed Services Committee, House Agriculture Committee, 
House Foreign Affairs Committee, and House Permanent Select Committee 
on Intelligence. He provided key legislative guidance that strengthened 
our national security and helped assemble a top-tier team to serve the 
people of Texas Thirteen.
  Currently, Jeff serves as Senior Vice President of Government 
Relations at AxAdvocacy, where he continues to use his vast expertise 
and experience to advocate for important issues that shape public 
policy.
  While Jeff has moved on to new opportunities, his legacy of service 
will not be forgotten. I have no doubt that he will continue to excel 
and make a meaningful difference in whatever endeavors he pursues. On 
behalf of myself, my staff, and the people of the Thirteenth 
Congressional District of Texas, I extend my sincere appreciation to 
Jeff Billman for his years of hard work, dedication, and service to the 
state of Texas and our great Nation.
