Ms. BYNUM. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the impressive efforts of Clackamas Community College President Tim Cook, who ran more than 1,400 miles over 52 days to raise money and awareness for Oregon students. His journey, which started on the Oregon-Idaho border, visited each of the state's 17 community colleges. Averaging roughly a marathon a day. Tim worked to bring attention to the many challenges students face, including food insecurity, homelessness, and lack of childcare.

I am truly impressed by Tim's work, dedication, and drive. I could not be prouder to represent the school he leads. I look forward to continuing to fight for strong education policies together. Way to go.
