                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, March 22, 2012

  Mr. GRAVES of Missouri. Mr. Speaker, I proudly pause to recognize 
Josh Hurlbert for his dedicated service over the past three years as a 
member of my staff. Josh will be leaving my staff to pursue his dream 
of serving the people of Missouri in elected office.
  Josh has been an invaluable part of my office. His was the first 
voice that many constituents heard when they called my office. Josh 
gave them the information they asked for whether it was information 
about a bill, a way to contact a government agency or if the latest 
email going around was true. He also worked with the people of Clinton, 
Caldwell and Daviess Counties to make sure their voices were heard in 
Washington.
  Josh also cheerfully took on additional office duties or tasks 
without being asked. His professionalism and dedication to serving my 
constituents was a great example of how government should work.
  While I am losing a valuable member of my team, I am excited for Josh 
to begin the next chapter of his career in public service. He knows 
that the best way to truly represent someone is to listen to their 
ideas and their concerns. Josh will be a voice for common sense and 
limited government the rest of his life.
  Mr. Speaker, I proudly ask you to join me in commending Josh Hurlbert 
for his service to

the people of the Sixth Congressional District. I, and the rest of my 
staff, wish him success in his future endeavors.
