         HONORING THE CAREER AND SERVICE OF MS. JENNIFER YEZAK

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. HENRY CUELLAR

                                of texas

                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, May 19, 2026

  Mr. CUELLAR. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Jennifer Yezak 
of Bremond, Texas, on her retirement after more than 35 years of 
distinguished service to American agriculture.
  Jennifer currently serves as Assistant Vice Chancellor for Federal 
Relations for Texas A&M AgriLife, and she is one of those rare 
individuals who has touched nearly every corner of agricultural policy.
  From the Texas House and Texas Department of Agriculture, to USDA, to 
the halls of Congress, to the boardrooms of national associations, and 
ultimately to Texas A&M AgriLife, she has been the university system's 
leading voice for agriculture and natural resources in Washington.
  Along the way, she earned a reputation as someone who gets things 
done, who builds relationships that last, and who never lost sight of 
why any of this work matters--the farmers, ranchers, and rural 
communities she grew up among in central Texas.
  Texas A&M and the entire Texas agricultural community have been well 
served by Jennifer's expertise, her steady hand, and her deep 
commitment to advancing policies that support food production, natural 
resources, and rural prosperity.
  She has been an invaluable advocate, and her fingerprints are on more 
wins for Texas agriculture than most people will ever know.
  We wish Jennifer and her family all the best as she begins this next 
chapter. She has more than earned it.
