                      RECOGNIZING KRISTEN PINNOCK

                           HON. BRETT GUTHRIE

                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, June 4, 2025

  Mr. GUTHRIE. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Kristen Pinnock for 
her service to the House Committee on Energy and Commerce.
  A Gales Ferry, Connecticut native, Kristen graduated with a Bachelors 
of Arts in Secondary Science and Social Science Education from DePaul 
University in 2011. While completing her Masters of Art/Ph.D in 
Measurement, Evaluation, and Assessment from the University of 
Connecticut, Kristen began her career in Washington, D.C. as a Student 
Trainee for the U.S. Government Accountability Office before becoming 
an Analyst and Senior Analyst. In March 2023, she joined the House 
Committee on Energy and Commerce as a U.S. Government Accountability 
Office Detailee for the Subcommittee on Oversight and Investigations 
where she has been a critical team member in leading investigations 
into Anti-Semitism in medical schools and hospitals and supported the 
Committee's role in the bipartisan AI Task Force report that came out 
in the 118th Congress. Kristen was also essential in Committee efforts 
in writing letters pertaining to the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund. 
Most recently, Kristen completed another degree graduating with a 
Master of Arts in Defense and Strategic Studies from the Naval War 
College in 2024.
  Kristen's time as detailee with the House Committee on Energy and 
Commerce is ending this week and she will return to the U.S. Government 
Accountability Office. I know Kristen will continue to be as valuable 
of an asset for the U.S. Government Accountability Office as she was 
for the House Committee on Energy and Commerce. I wish her the best and 
thank Kristen Pinnock for her service to the House Committee on Energy 
and Commerce.
