              HONORING EMILY GRAETER'S SERVICE TO AMERICA

                                 ______

                    in the house of representatives

                        Friday, October 17, 2025

  Mr. CAREY. Mr. Speaker, today, I rise to honor Emily Graeter, a 
daughter of Columbus, an Ohio State Buckeye, and a devoted public 
servant, who is departing my office to return to our beloved home of 
Ohio.
  Throughout her time on Capitol Hill, Emily has been a model public 
servant. She spent her time here learning, working hard, and becoming a 
leader, most recently as Deputy Chief of Staff and Legislative Director 
in my office. If you talk to Emily for more than a few seconds, her 
brilliance and intense enthusiasm demonstrate why she is so effective.
  From impromptu strategy sessions to all-night markups in the Ways and 
Means Committee, Emily has been at my side with an answer to every 
policy question and sound guidance on what to do next.
  Her passion for service and wealth of knowledge make her an 
invaluable asset to me, the House of Representatives, and our great 
Republic.
  I thank Emily for years of tireless work and passion for our 
communities in Ohio and across America. She is an irreplaceable member 
of our team, and she will be dearly missed.

                          ____________________
