                    RECOGNIZING COLE MORGAN OF WREC

                                 ______
                                 

                         HON. GUS M. BILIRAKIS

                               of florida

                    in the house of representatives

                      Thursday, September 24, 2026

  Mr. BILIRAKIS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Mr. Cole 
Morgan, a CR Lineman with Withlacoochee River Electric Cooperative 
(WREC), for his dedicated service as part of WREC's second mission 
supporting the Light Up Navajo Project. Light Up Navajo brings together 
skilled utility professionals who volunteer their expertise to help 
extend electricity to Navajo families who have lived without power for 
generations. Mr. Morgan answered this call to service, using his 
specialized training and experience as a lineman to help make reliable 
electrical service a reality for families in need. The impact of this 
work reaches well beyond the electrical infrastructure itself. Reliable 
power gives children light to study, allows families to safely preserve 
food and medicine, and provides greater comfort and security in the 
home. Mr. Morgan's willingness to put his skills to work far beyond 
WREC's traditional service territory demonstrates both compassion and 
an extraordinary commitment to service. His efforts are a powerful 
example of the cooperative principle of neighbors helping neighbors.
  I commend Mr. Cole Morgan for his professionalism, dedication, and 
willingness to use his talents to improve the lives of others. His 
service reflects great credit upon WREC and our entire community.
