   DELIVERING ON COMMITMENTS TO OREGON'S THIRD CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT

  (Ms. DEXTER asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. DEXTER. Mr. Speaker, in my first year in Congress, I made a 
simple commitment to my district: to listen and to get things done.
  This week, I am proud to share that I am delivering on that 
commitment. I secured over $6 million in Community Project Funding for 
seven transformative community-led initiatives across the district in 
Portland, Gresham, Sandy, and Multnomah County.
  These investments will help prevent youth violence, modernize 
emergency response systems, strengthen wastewater infrastructure, 
expand behavioral healthcare, and protect the clean water our 
communities depend on.
  Each project came directly from local leaders working to solve urgent 
issues on the ground, and I fought to make sure every single one 
received funding.
  This is what government should be: responsive, collaborative, and 
focused on our people delivering results for them and our families.
  Mr. Speaker, I am proud of this progress, and I am just getting 
started for the people of Oregon's Third.
