                        Monday, January 12, 2026

  Mr. NUNN of Iowa. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the 
exceptional service of Whitney Hutson, who served with distinction as 
Director of Operations in my office over the past year. Her tireless 
work, sound judgment, and steady leadership played a vital role in 
ensuring our team delivered results each day for the people of Iowa's 
3rd District.
  From her very first day on Team Nunn, Whitney stepped into one of the 
most demanding roles in any congressional office and excelled. She 
managed our daily, weekly, and long-term schedules--both in Washington, 
D.C. and across Iowa--ensuring every meeting, event, and engagement 
reflected our shared priorities and unwavering commitment to Iowans.
  As Director of Operations, Whitney prepared schedules and briefing 
materials that kept our office moving forward--even through the longest 
shutdown in U.S. history, shifting legislative demands, and the day-to-
day unpredictability of public service with exceptional skill.
  Her calm under pressure mindset and ability to anticipate challenges 
kept us mission-ready in every circumstance and focused on what matters 
most: delivering for Iowans back home.
  Equally important, Whitney brought warmth and creativity to our team 
culture. She mentored junior staff, supported colleagues through busy 
weeks, and brightened the office alongside her Cavalier companion, Lady 
the dog. When things moved fast, Whitney stayed focused. When the 
pressure mounted, she delivered. Her professionalism, reliability, and 
example set a high standard for our entire team.
  A graduate of Western Kentucky University, a Nashville, Tennessee 
native, and a trusted

colleague to all, Whitney's service to the people of Iowa reflects the 
character and work ethic that define Team Nunn. I am grateful for her 
contributions and confident she will continue to lead and succeed in 
the next chapter of her career.
  Mr. Speaker, I extend my heartfelt thanks to Ms. Whitney Hutson for 
her contributions to Iowa's 3rd Congressional District and wish her 
continued success in all that lies ahead.
