                      Tuesday, September 23, 2025

  Mrs. FLETCHER. Mr. Speaker, I rise with gratitude and affection to 
recognize the contributions of Sarah Kaplan Feinmann to Texas' 7th 
Congressional District, to the United States House of Representatives, 
and to the United States of America.
  Sarah arrived in Washington, D.C., in 2011, after graduating cum 
laude from the University of Southern California with a Bachelor of 
Arts in Middle East Studies and International Relations. Sarah brought 
her passion and deep commitment to public service to her work at the 
Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars. That commitment 
guided her to the Hill in 2013, where she worked over the years to help 
develop and implement meaningful policy through her work on the staff 
of the New Democrat Coalition and later her work in the Office of 
Congressman Eric Swalwell, where she served as a senior legislative 
assistant, senior advisor, and inaugural director of Future Forum. 
During that time, Sarah also earned her Master of Arts in Security 
Studies from Georgetown University.
  At the start of the 116th Congress, in January 2019, Sarah joined my 
office as my first Chief of Staff for Texas' 7th Congressional 
District, serving her hometown and the people who live there 
enthusiastically and tirelessly. Sarah dedicated herself to building a 
team to serve the residents of Texas' 7th Congressional District at all 
times, and has done so during times of great challenge in the district 
and the country. Sarah led our office in efforts to ensure that our 
team is ready and able to do all it can for constituents in every 
possible circumstance, that our community's priorities are reflected in 
our work, and that our work delivers meaningful progress for people at 
home and across the country.
  Sarah has been a partner and friend who has demonstrated her 
dedication to our district, to our staff, and to our country each day 
for nearly seven years. She has built lasting and meaningful 
relationships across the Hill. She has served as a mentor for many. And 
she has made meaningful and lasting contributions that will continue to 
shape our office and our district in the years ahead.
  Mr. Speaker, on behalf of Texas' 7th Congressional District, I 
express my deep and sincere gratitude, and my very best wishes, to 
Sarah Kaplan Feinmann and her family as they begin their new chapter 
off the Hill.
