         RECOGNIZING MINNESOTA STATE REPRESENTATIVE ERIN KOEGEL

  (Ms. OMAR asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. OMAR. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Minnesota State 
Representative Erin Koegel for her incredible work serving in the 
Minnesota legislature.
  I was fortunate to have had the opportunity to work with 
Representative Koegel during my time serving in the Minnesota House of 
Representatives, and I quickly learned how thoughtful, dedicated, and 
strategic she is when it comes to serving her constituents.
  For decades, Representative Koegel has worked tirelessly to improve 
the lives of everyday people, passing landmark transportation 
legislation to invest in roads, bridges, and transit, expanding worker 
protection for pregnant and breastfeeding Minnesotans.
  Mr. Speaker, my belief in co-governance is made possible through my 
colleagues at the State and local level, and Representative Koegel has 
been a great partner in this work. I look forward to seeing the 
positive impact of her work for the years to come.
