  Mr. BILIRAKIS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the exceptional 
contributions of a dedicated community leader in my district, Ms. Kelly 
Mothershead. Kelly is an extraordinary advocate for the Pasco County 
community, demonstrating a tireless commitment to improving the lives 
of her neighbors and strengthening local organizations.
  For many years, Kelly has served on the Board of the Alliance for 
Healthy Communities, consistently showing up at events, assisting with 
fundraising, and lending her expertise and energy to support the 
organization's mission. Her dedication goes beyond traditional board 
responsibilities; she has created a scholarship fund to provide 
transitional living opportunities for those in need, ensuring 
vulnerable members of our community have a pathway to stability and 
independence.
  Everything Kelly does, she does with heart, soul, and unwavering 
compassion. Her efforts have a lasting impact on the community, 
fostering hope, opportunity, and stronger support systems for Pasco 
County residents. Kelly Mothershead exemplifies the spirit of service 
and selflessness that defines a true community hero.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in recognizing Ms. Kelly 
Mothershead for her outstanding dedication to the people of Pasco 
County. For her generosity, leadership, and tireless advocacy, I am 
proud to honor Kelly Mothershead as a 2026 Heroes Among Us recipient 
for Florida's 12th Congressional District.
