Congratulating Las Vegas Aces

Floor Speech

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mr. HORSFORD. Mr. Speaker, I rise today with great pride to congratulate our own Las Vegas Aces on their remarkable achievement of back-to-back WNBA Championship wins.

This team has done it again. Their hard work, talent, and teamwork have demonstrated what a never-give-up attitude can achieve, battling past setbacks from injuries, including star and last year's Finals MVP Chelsea Gray.

I recognize this year's Finals MVP, A'ja Wilson, and the Aces' coach, Becky Hammon.

Mr. Speaker, it is not every day that a city gets to celebrate three championships in just over a year, two from the Las Vegas Aces. That is why I was proud to join Vice President Kamala Harris in recognizing the team at the White House in August.

Las Vegas is a city of champions. For the second straight year, the team finished with the best regular season record.

Mr. Speaker, I congratulate everyone on this achievement, especially the players and coaching staff.

Southern Nevada is excited to see more of what this team has, and we look forward to many more successes.
