  Ms. BYNUM. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the impressive 
efforts of Clackamas Community College President Tim Cook, who ran more 
than 1,400 miles over 52 days to raise money and awareness for Oregon 
students. His journey, which started on the Oregon-Idaho border, 
visited each of the state's 17 community colleges. Averaging roughly a 
marathon a day. Tim worked to bring attention to the many challenges 
students face, including food insecurity, homelessness, and lack of 
childcare.
  I am truly impressed by Tim's work, dedication, and drive. I could 
not be prouder to represent the school he leads. I look forward to 
continuing to fight for strong education policies together. Way to go.
