Floor Speech

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mr. WITTMAN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in recognition of Will Sroka and his service and contributions to Virginia's First District and the Nation.

Will earned his bachelor's degree from the reigning NCAA college football champions Ohio State University, where he majored in sociology. Will then held internship positions at a public affairs firm and in the office of former Congressman Pat Tiberi and then served as a Constituent Aide in the Ohio House of Representatives before starting his career on Capitol Hill.

Will joined my office as a Legislative Assistant after working for former Congressman Bob Gibbs, a member from his home state of Ohio, for five years. Will soon became my Legislative Director and has led my legislative team with distinction for the past 18 months.

As my Legislative Director, Will spearheaded numerous legislative efforts that delivered tangible results to the constituents of my district, the Commonwealth of Virginia, and the country. Will worked to pass the America's Conservation Enhancement Reauthorization Act of 2024, which was signed into law on December 23, 2024. He also led on the Freedom to Invest in Tomorrow's Workforce Act, securing 150 bipartisan cosponsors and ushering the bill through the Committee on Ways and Means.

Will served as a mentor and leader for my legislative staff and the entire office, sharing his expertise and experience with the rest of my team. His counsel and guidance have shaped my staff into the most effective and successful team on Capitol Hill.

I would like to thank Will for his many contributions and dedicated service over the last two years. He has been an invaluable member of my team, and I wish him the best of luck as he moves on to the next chapter of his professional career at Ernst & Young.

Mr. Speaker, I ask you to join me in recognizing Will Sroka for his service to Virginia's First District and the Nation.
