  Mr. BILIRAKIS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and honor the 
extraordinary contributions of one of my constituents, Kelly Kell, a 
volunteer with the Twistid Arts Initiative in Citrus County. Kelly's 
impact on the organization is immeasurable. She consistently supports 
every aspect of our work, from event coordination and crowd management 
to daily program operations, ensuring success at every turn. Her 
selfless commitment and hands-on involvement make her a true hero 
within our nonprofit community.
  Mr. Speaker, part of what makes our Nation so great is the 
willingness of ordinary Americans to selflessly give back to their 
communities. Volunteerism is a cornerstone of our society and a vital 
thread in the fabric that unites us. Ms. Kell embodies this spirit of 
service in every sense. It is clear that Kelly Kell has made a 
profoundly positive impact on our community, and I am deeply grateful 
for her dedication and service. I am proud to honor her accomplishments 
by recognizing her as a 2026 Hero Among Us for Florida's 12th 
Congressional District.
