                          Friday, June 6, 2025

  Mr. GUTHRIE. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Gavin Proffitt for 
his service to the House Committee on Energy and Commerce.
  A Lynchburg, Virginia native, Gavin began his career on Capitol Hill 
as a Research Assistant for Rep. Louie Gohmert (TX-01) in October 2016 
before becoming a Legislative Correspondent and Legislative Assistant 
for Rep. Bob Goodlatte (VA-06) and a Professional Staff Member for the 
Republican Study Committee. In February 2023, Gavin joined the House 
Committee on Energy and Commerce as a Professional Staff Member for the 
Subcommittee on Oversight and Investigations after serving as a Senior 
Advisor to the Administrator and Medicaid Project Officer for the 
Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. During his time working for 
the Subcommittee on Oversight and Investigations, Gavin worked on a 
wide array of issues such as the fentanyl crisis, FDA drug shortages, 
and antimicrobial resistance.
  Recently, Gavin departed the House Committee on Energy and Commerce 
to take on a new role as Health Policy Advisor for Sen. Ron Johnson 
(WI). I wish him the best, congratulate him on his new role, and thank 
Gavin Proffitt for his service to the House Committee on Energy and 
Commerce.
