                          THANKING LYNN MINGES

  (Mr. MOORE of North Carolina asked and was given permission to 
address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. MOORE of North Carolina. Mr. Speaker, today I rise to recognize 
Lynn Minges as she steps down from her role as president and CEO of the 
North Carolina Restaurant and Lodging Association.
  We worked together during my time as speaker of the North Carolina 
House, and I have seen her fight for the folks who run our restaurants, 
hotels, and other institutions during some of the industry's biggest 
challenges like the COVID shutdowns when so many were just trying to 
stay afloat.
  One of her biggest wins with her team was helping pass the brunch 
bill, which gave businesses more flexibility and modernized some of our 
State's regulations. She was also a major advocate for recovery funds 
to help restaurants and hotels hit hardest by the pandemic. That kind 
of support made a real difference for people across North Carolina.
  She has had a steady hand in the industry for job creators that mean 
a lot to our State's economy. I wish her well in this next chapter, and 
I thank her for her years of service.
