Floor Speech

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mr. TAYLOR. Mr. Speaker, I rise to recognize Madison Wasmer.

Madison is a junior at Jackson High School and has recently earned the Eagle Scout Award, becoming the first female in Jackson County to earn this distinction. To achieve this, Madison obtained 21 merit badges, showcasing fundamental skills she learned as a Scout and commitment to her community.

Madison is a true leader who has served on her school's student council, engaged in local cleanup initiatives, and assisted special needs students.

A member of Troop 7056, Madison embodied the spirit of the Scouts, which is to make ethical and moral choices that contribute to the well- being of society, ultimately fostering civic engagement and love of community.

Southern Ohio is proud of Madison's accomplishments, and we are happy to call her one of our own. I look forward to seeing how she continues to create positive change in Ohio's Second Congressional District.

Mr. Speaker, I also recognize Madison's grandmother and her Scoutmaster, Ryan Pelliter, for their role in this process. Without them, this achievement would not have been possible. I congratulate Madison.
