Recognizing Kaitlyn Anthes

Floor Speech

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mr. VINDMAN. Mr. Speaker, today I rise to recognize my district's 2025 Congressional Art Competition winner, Kaitlyn Anthes as my Constituent of the Week.

Kaitlyn's charcoal drawing, titled To Light and Guard, will hang in the U.S. Capitol representing Virginia's Seventh District for the next year.

Her artwork was so impressive that when we received her piece, my district director initially thought we had purchased professional artwork to hang in the office.

In addition to being a talented artist, Kaitlyn recently graduated from Courtland High School in Spotsylvania.

In Congress, I am working to strengthen public education so students like Kaitlyn have access to programs that allow them to pursue their passions.

I congratulate Kaitlyn on this well-earned accomplishment and wish her luck as she heads off to college in the fall.
