                          HON. JARED MOSKOWITZ

                               of florida

                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, October 28, 2025

  Mr. MOSKOWITZ. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor a truly remarkable 
milestone: the 75th anniversary of Wards Marine Electric, headquartered 
my district in Fort Lauderdale. Seventy-five years--three-quarters of a 
century--is a rare achievement in American business. It speaks to 
resilience, vision, and an unwavering commitment to excellence.
  Wards Marine Electric was founded under the bold vision of Ward, Sr., 
and that vision is being carried out tenfold today under the leadership 
of CEO Kristina Herbert. They have supported a plethora of non-profits, 
shown leadership in industry associations and fostered job growth and 
innovation in Fort Lauderdale and beyond. They strongly advocate for 
the marine industry at both local and national levels, and in doing so 
help build a future for the industry that exhibits the highest 
standards and steadfast commitment to improvement. Wards Marine 
Electric has proven themselves to be a pillar of the community, and I 
am proud to host their headquarters in my district.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in congratulating Wards 
Marine Electric on 75 years of remarkable achievement. May their past 
inspire continued innovation, their community engagement continues to 
uplift South Florida, and their vision for the future ensure the next 
75 years are even brighter.
