                    in the house of representatives

                       Friday, November 21, 2025

  Mr. GUTHRIE. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Kaitlyn Peterson for 
her service to the House Committee on Energy and Commerce.
  A graduate of the University of Minnesota and native of Massapequa, 
Long Island, New York, Kaitlyn began her career in Washington, D.C. as 
a Staff Assistant and Deputy Scheduler for former Chairman of the House 
Committee on Energy and Commerce, Rep. Fred Upton (MI-06). She later 
became his Legislative Correspondent and Special Projects Director 
before joining the House Committee on Energy and Commerce as Lead 
Legislative Clerk for the Subcommittee on Energy, Climate, and Grid 
Security and the Subcommittee on Environment, Manufacturing, and 
Critical Minerals under Chair Cathy McMorris Rodgers. She then joined 
my team and became Policy Analyst for the Subcommittee on Environment 
where she led the committee efforts behind H.J. Res. 87, H.J. Res. 88, 
and H.J. 89 which were signed into law in June of this year.
  After serving the U.S. House of Representatives for nearly four 
years, Kaitlyn will depart the House Committee on Energy and Commerce 
to take a position with the Senate Committee on Environment and Public 
Works, handling a portfolio of energy, fish, and wildlife issues. I 
thank her for her service to the committee and wish her well in her new 
endeavor.
