Floor Speech

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mr. WITTMAN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in recognition of Sarah Newsome and her service to Virginia's First District and the Nation.

Sarah earned her bachelor's degree from the University of Virginia, where she double majored in foreign affairs and religion. Prior to attending UVA, Sarah graduated from Collegiate School in Richmond, Virginia.

During her undergraduate studies, she interned on Capitol Hill and the Center for Christian Study. After graduating and prior to joining my office, she interned for the Center for a New American Security and the American Bakers Association.

Sarah joined my office in February 2020 as my staff assistant. She then worked her way up to press secretary, and subsequently to communications director. Sarah has been an incredibly versatile member of Team Wittman and was always eager to assist the office with new tasks. She contributed tremendously to providing the best constituent service and was a great mentor to both interns and staff. Sarah's contagious laughter, positive attitude, and leadership will be greatly missed in my office.

I would like to thank Sarah for her contributions and dedicated service over the last 3 years. She has been an invaluable member of my team, and I wish her the best as she begins her new role with the Chief Executives Organization.

Mr. Speaker, I ask you to join me in recognizing Sarah Newsome for her service to Virginia's First District and the Nation. May God bless Sarah as she continues her career.
