                    RECOGNIZING JOHN DOUGLAS KOHLER

  (Mr. BALDERSON asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. BALDERSON. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and thank a 
friend and valued member of my team, John Kohler, who is moving on to a 
new opportunity.
  John has been on my staff since 2018 after graduating from The Ohio 
State University and serving in the offices of former Congressman Pat 
Tiberi and

former Speaker of the House Paul Ryan.
  During that time, he distinguished himself through his dedication to 
public service and his commitment to the people of the 12th 
Congressional District.
  He served as a trusted adviser on foreign policy, defense, telecom, 
tech, and oversight, and helped lead our work on consumer protection 
policy, contributing to the bipartisan passage of the Awning Safety 
Act.
  My team and I will greatly miss John and his beloved chocolate lab 
Jeb who brightened our office and welcomed every constituent who walked 
through our door.
  I am deeply grateful for his service, and I wish him continued 
success.
