Mrs. McCLELLAN. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize the incredible work of three students from my district. Evan McKinney, Ayden Greer, and David Bell from Elizabeth Davis Middle School in Chester, Virginia, were recently selected as winners of C-SPAN's 2023 national StudentCam Competition.

This year, students addressed the theme of, ``If you were a newly elected Member of Congress, which issue would be your first priority and why?''

It is a topic I am particularly interested in.

Evan, Ayden, and David created a documentary titled, ``Do the Twist: The Startling Truth About Opioid Abuse in America.''

Their work looked into some of the root causes of the opioid crisis and its devastating impacts.

I thank Evan, Ayden, and David for helping shine a light on such a pervasive issue in our district and our Nation. I congratulate them on winning the prize out of nearly 3,000 participants. They made their school, their community, our district, and their Congresswoman proud.
