Mr. BALDERSON. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate the outgoing chairwoman of the Committee on Energy and Commerce, Cathy McMorris Rodgers, on an extraordinary career in public service.

As a leader of the most powerful committee in Congress, Cathy has stood out as a dedicated public servant and a tireless champion for the children.

Under her leadership, we have advanced policies that uplift American families and inspire a new era of innovation. Her commitment to service and her vision for a brighter future have left a lasting mark on this institution.

Back home in eastern Washington, she is known simply as a humble public servant and a dedicated voice for her constituents.

Cathy has served the people of Washington's Fifth Congressional District with grace and dedication for 20 years, and she leaves behind a legacy of selflessness and service.

As she embarks on her next chapter, I extend my best wishes to Cathy, as well and my heartfelt gratitude to her husband, Brian, and her children for their unwavering support of her and her work.

Thank you, Chairwoman McMorris Rodgers, for your exceptional leadership.
