RECOGNIZING EMILY TUTTLE-MILLARD
______
HON. ZACHARY NUNN
of iowa
in the house of representatives
Tuesday, February 25, 2025
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
[[Page E158]]
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.
