Mr. CARTER of Georgia. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Lori Frazier Bearden, a resident of Savannah, Georgia, who will serve as the Deputy Assistant Secretary for the Employment and Training Administration, ETA, at the United States Department of Labor.

Ms. Bearden earned her bachelor's degree in political science from Columbus State University in Georgia and her master's degree in public administration from Auburn University.

In this role, Ms. Bearden will assist Labor Secretary Lori Chavez- DeRemer in executing President Donald Trump's mission of prioritizing American workers, veterans, and retirees.

She will work to advance the ETA's mission of contributing to the more efficient functioning of the U.S. labor market by providing high- quality job training, employment, labor market information, and income maintenance services, primarily through State and local workforce development programs.

Ms. Bearden's dedication to public service and expertise in navigating complex policy landscapes make her an asset to the Trump administration.

I congratulate Ms. Bearden on this exciting achievement. We all look forward to watching her succeed and wish her the best in her new role.
