                CONSTITUENT OF THE WEEK ALEXANDRA VAKOS

  (Mr. VINDMAN asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. VINDMAN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Alexandra 
Vakos on being named the 2025 Distinguished Assistant of the Year in a 
medium-sized office by the Virginia Association of Commonwealth's 
Attorneys.
  Each year, this award honors just three prosecutors across the 
Commonwealth. Alexandra was selected from approximately 1,000 
prosecutors who were qualified. She stood out because of her 
outstanding trial accomplishments and contributions to the Virginia 
Association of Commonwealth's Attorneys.
  She played a pivotal role in establishing a regional behavioral 
health docket in the Fredericksburg area. This initiative helps connect 
individuals with serious mental health illness and substance abuse 
disorders to treatment and support through evidence-based practices and 
judicial oversight.

  As her Representative in Congress, I am grateful for her commitment 
to justice and strengthening our community. That is why I am proud to 
name her Constituent of the Week.
