                      Wednesday, January 14, 2026

  Mr. GOLDMAN of Texas. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Avery 
Green in earning second place at the Health Occupation Students of 
America International Leadership Conference Competition. This 
accomplishment shows Ms. Green's dedication to her education and 
serving those within her community.
  The Health Occupation Students of America organization encourages 
students to become leaders in one of the highest demand job markets in 
the Nation. The growing need for healthcare workers is becoming 
increasingly evident. Ms. Green's participation and excellence in the 
Clinical Nursing competition shows initiative and highlights a level of 
strength and compassion indicative of a true Texan spirit. As the first 
from Aledo High School to win the State HOSA competition and go on to 
compete at the International Leadership Conference, she is an 
inspiration to many within the district who will seek to follow in her 
footsteps.
  On behalf of the 12th Congressional District of Texas, I am proud to 
offer my congratulations to Ms. Avery Green and wish her much luck and 
success in her years to come.
