Mr. HORSFORD. Mr. Speaker, I rise today with excitement to congratulate the Las Vegas Aces for winning the 2022 WNBA finals.

The Las Vegas Aces are the first Las Vegas-based team to bring home a professional sports championship. Before winning the championship, this team was built for success, having the best regular season record this year.

Forward A'ja Wilson was named the WNBA Most Valuable Player for the second time in her career, and during the semifinals, point guard Chelsea Gray became the first player in WNBA history with more than 30 points and 10 assists in a playoff game.

In her first year as head coach, Becky Hammon led this championship team with determination and poise.

Congratulations to the Las Vegas Aces players, coaches, and leadership for this incredible victory.

I look forward to celebrating this championship and the many more to come. Go Aces.
