                         RECOGNIZING EMILY HALE

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. BRETT GUTHRIE

                              of kentucky

                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, July 16, 2025

  Mr. GUTHRIE. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Emily Hale for her 
service to the House Committee on Energy and Commerce.
  A Louisville, Kentucky native, Emily graduated with a Bachelors of 
Arts in Political Science from the University of Kentucky in 2024. 
During her time in college, Emily volunteered her time as a Court 
Appointed Special Advocate in Lexington and served as an intern in my 
Washington, D.C. office. Upon graduation, Emily began her career in 
Washington, D.C. and joined my team to serve the constituents of 
Kentucky's 2nd District as my Staff Assistant in the summer of 2024, 
where she gave phenomenal tours, treated my constituents with kindness, 
and navigated the unpredictable 2025 Presidential Inauguration with 
grace. After I became Chairman of the House Committee on Energy and 
Commerce, I knew I wanted Emily's optimism and readiness to serve on my 
new team. She transitioned to become the Staff Assistant for the Energy 
and Commerce Committee in January of this year and was a critical farce 
in making sure committee markups and hearings went smoothly, including 
a nearly 27 hour long markup to help pass our portion of President 
Trump's One Big Beautiful Bill.
  Soon, Emily Hale will depart the House Committee on Energy and 
Commerce to serve another member of the Kentucky delegation, Dean of 
the House Hal Rogers (KY-05), as his Legislative Correspondent--a role 
I know she will excel in. I wish her the best in all her bright future 
and thank her for service to the House Committee on Energy and Commerce 
and to the constituents of Kentucky's 2nd Congressional District.
