                           HONORING TIM REITZ

                                 ______

                               of arizona

                    in the house of representatives

                         Monday, April 27, 2026

  Mr. BIGGS of Arizona. Mr. Speaker, I rise to honor and celebrate Tim 
Reitz, the Executive Director for the House Freedom Caucus.
  For the last four years, Tim has led our caucus of conservative 
members with all the patience, diligence, resolve, and commitment 
needed for success. He is steadfast in his principles and unwavering in 
the face of immense pressure to leave those principles behind.
  He has stood by our side through some of our toughest battles--
electing a new Speaker of the House, fighting to bend down the federal 
spending curve, implementing President Trump's agenda, and even last 
week's effort to seek necessary reforms to FISA. Tim does not shy away 
from the fight. He is a happy warrior, determined to restore our Nation 
to the Founders' vision of freedom and limited government.
  Before coming to HFC, Tim served two members of his home state of 
Georgia, Paul Brown and my good friend and former HFC member, Jody 
Hice.
  But this week will be Tim's last in the House of Representatives as 
he embarks on a new adventure with the Conservative Partnership 
Institute. I have no doubt Tim will continue to be an asset to the 
conservative cause.
  I am deeply grateful for his devoted service and wish him well in his 
new endeavor.
