CONGRATULATING TONY BRADS

  (Mr. Vindman of Virginia was recognized to address the House for 5
minutes.)
  Mr. VINDMAN. Mr. Speaker, today I rise to congratulate Culpeper
County Public Schools division superintendent Dr. Tony Brads. He has
been recognized as Superintendent of the Year for the Northern Virginia
Region of the Commonwealth.
  This honor reflects Dr. Brad's outstanding accomplishments, as well
as the respect he has earned throughout Culpeper County and Virginia's
education community.
  As he marks 21 years as a division superintendent, Dr. Brads is known
as a voice of reason and a tenacious advocate for students, educators,
and public schools.
  Under his leadership, the Culpeper Technical Education Center opened
in 2021. This center has expanded opportunity and prepared students
with the skills they need to succeed in today's workforce.
  Dr. Brads represents the very best of public education leadership. I
thank him for his commitment to improving the lives and futures of our
students. I am honored to recognize him as my Constituent of the Week.

                       Congratulating Tim Healey

  Mr. VINDMAN. Mr. Speaker, today I rise to congratulate my Constituent
of the Week, Tim Healey, on his retirement as principal of Charles J.
Colgan Senior High School in Prince William County, the first and only
principal since Charles J. Colgan Senior High School opened in 2016.
  Principal Healey is ending a remarkable 37-year career with Prince
William County Public Schools. Throughout his career in education,
Principal Healey has fostered an environment where his unwavering
belief in his students empowers them to prepare for their next chapter
and inspires them to reach their fullest potential.
  His leadership has shaped not only a school but a community grounded
in excellence and opportunity.
  On behalf of the entire Prince William community and as the dad of a
student at Colgan High School, go Sharks.
  I thank Principal Healey for his decades of dedicated service and his
lasting impact on generations of students, families, and educators.
  I wish him all the best in a well-deserved retirement.

                    Congratulating Anita Crossfield

  Mr. VINDMAN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate my Constituent
of the Week, Anita Crossfield, on being named a recipient of the 2026
President's Award for Woman of the Year.
  This award recognizes individuals whose leadership and service have
enhanced and preserved the quality of life in Fredericksburg.
  A native of Albania, Anita and her daughter fled wartime in 2004. Her
story is similar to my own. Our families came to this greatest country
in the world to pursue the American Dream.
  Since then, she has earned a degree from Germanna Community College
and established a successful business on Caroline Street. Anita's Cafe
and Dessert Bar has become a welcoming hub in the community.
  In addition to her business, Anita serves on the city's Economic
Development Authority and sits on the board of the Fredericksburg Area
Museum.
  Mr. Speaker, I thank Anita for all she has done to strengthen
Fredericksburg. Our community is grateful for all of her contributions.

                       Congratulating Kristi Rice

  Mr. VINDMAN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Kristi Rice,
my

Constituent of the Week, on her appointment as head coach of the U.S.
Women's Cyber Team.

  A dedicated cybersecurity teacher at Spotsylvania High School, Kristi
will guide and mentor cyber experts as they prepare to compete on the
global stage.
  This July, she will lead her all-female team at the Women's
International Cybersecurity Challenge in Ireland.
  In addition to this remarkable achievement, Kristi has been named
Spotsylvania Teacher of the Year for 2025-2026 and is the recipient of
the Presidential Cybersecurity Education Award.
  These honors reflect on her exceptional leadership, deep professional
expertise, and unwavering commitment to advancing cybersecurity
education.

                   Congratulating Michael Sidebotham

  Mr. VINDMAN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate my Constituent
of the Week, Dr. Michael Sidebotham, on being recognized in the
inaugural class of the Virginia Department of Education's Principals of
Distinction.
  This recognition honors outstanding school leaders while supporting
their continued professional growth.
  A longtime principal of Grafton Village Elementary School, Dr.
Sidebotham was named Stafford County's Principal of the Year in 2018.
  His dedication to students, staff, and families at Grafton Village
has stood out.
  Principals like Dr. Sidebotham play a vital role in shaping the next
generation and ensuring every student has the opportunity to succeed.
  I thank Dr. Sidebotham for his leadership and his unwavering
commitment to education in our community.

               ANNIVERSARY OF PRESIDENT TRUMP'S TAX CUTS

  (Mr. WILSON of South Carolina asked and was given permission to
address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. WILSON of South Carolina. Mr. Speaker, delivering on promises
made by President Donald Trump and House Republicans, led by   Mike
Johnson, this is the first anniversary of the Working Families Tax Cut
Act. This big, beautiful bill cuts taxes, limits government, expands
freedom, and will create jobs.
  Sadly, every Democrat voted against it. This historic legislation
resulted in the largest tax cut in American history, benefiting
families. Millions have received historic tax refunds. More than 29
million workers claimed the no tax on overtime deduction. More than 35
million seniors have claimed no tax on Social Security. In addition,
nearly 8 million have claimed no tax on tips. Promises made, promises
kept.
  In conclusion, God bless our troops. Trump is reinstating peace
through strength, revealing war criminal Putin lies, insulting Trump
and mocking Trump, with President Trump now supporting the Lindsey
Graham Russian sanctions act to bankrupt the Putin oligarchs who
oppress the talented people of Russia.

                         HONORING JULIA DANIELS

  (Ms. ROSS asked and was given permission to address the House for 1
minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. ROSS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the life and legacy of
Julia Daniels, a remarkable North Carolinian whose generosity,
leadership, and love for our State touched countless lives.
  Born in New Bern and raised in Raleigh, Julia dedicated herself to
preserving and enriching North Carolina's culture and civic
institutions. She was a champion of the arts, history, and education,
helping strengthen organizations, including the North Carolina Museum
of Art and the North Carolina Historical Commission.
  Julia was often called a professional volunteer, but her impact went
far beyond that title. To many, Julia was the embodiment of grace and
service. She opened her heart to causes she believed in, inspiring
generations through her kindness and civic spirit.
  As we mourn her passing, we also celebrate an exceptional life and a
legacy that will endure across North Carolina for generations to come.

                             END HUNGER NOW

  (Mr. McGOVERN asked and was given permission to address the House for
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. McGOVERN. Mr. Speaker, when schools are closed for the summer,
far too many kids in America go hungry because they don't have access
to nutritious breakfasts or lunches.
  That is where the incredible Summer Eats program comes in. Funded by
USDA and in partnership with States, local schools, and community
organizations, Summer Eats provides free, nutritious summer meals to
kids across the country.
  Last week, I joined Project Bread on a visit to Summer Eats programs
in Leominster and Turners Falls, two communities in my district. I was
able to talk with young children and teens who told me they loved the
meals and enjoyed the ability to spend time with their friends while
school was out of session.
  I thank the Spanish American Center and the Gill-Montague School
District for sponsoring these successful sites.
  Mr. Speaker, even with important programs like Summer Eats, 14
million kids in the United States of America, the richest country in
the history of the world, are food insecure. We have
