  Mr. NUNN of Iowa. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the 
incredible accomplishments of Emily Tuttle-Millard our Deputy Chief of 
Staff. Over the course of her tenure, she served in numerous roles, 
consistently demonstrating professionalism and an extraordinary work 
ethic with a steadfast dedication to excellence. Emily was not only a 
vital member of our team but also an integral force behind our success.
  As Deputy Chief of Staff, Emily tackled our strategic goals, 
including passage of legislation to address Veteran Suicide with the 
``Adam Lambert Act,'' helping support couples start a family with the 
``HOPE Act,'' and delivered on U.S. security priorities enshrined in 
the National Defense Authorization Act. As a fighter for folks in the 
heart of the heartland, Emily worked with out legislative team to 
ensure Iowa garnered the most priorities in the Farm Bill. Further, 
Emily worked across the State and across the aisle to earn our team the 
Top 10 most bipartisan member of Congress distinction.
  As Communications Director, Emily's tenacity ensured Iowa's 
priorities always received national attention, from in-depth coverage 
ranging from ``Face the Nation'' to ``Fox & Friends,'' as well as a 
commitment to local journalism showcasing Iowa's best accomplishments 
as a roadmap for national solutions. Her focus on individual 
constituents became legend, earning her the Congressional 
Administrative Office's model for tailored mail engagement. Emily 
navigated challenges with grace and mastered the art of turning vision 
into reality.
  Equally, Emily was an original plank holder on Team Nunn. Coming 
aboard from the very

beginning as Director of Operations, where she scheduled hundreds of 
meetings and listening sessions for Iowans visiting Washington, D.C. 
and in the district.
  Most importantly, though, Emily is a mentor and friend to the team. 
Her ability to foster collaboration and encourage growth made our team 
stronger and more united. Despite her University of Illinois pedigree, 
Emily is as Iowa as they come, from corn dogs at the State Fair, to 
winning friends under the Golden Dome in Des Moines, to the marble 
steps of the U.S. Capitol.
  We wish Emily success in her next endeavors and have no doubt she 
will continue to make a difference. The distinctive accomplishments of 
her service reflect effect greatly herself, the people of Iowa, and the 
United States.
