Mr. JACKSON of Texas. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and express my gratitude to my former Chief of Staff, Bryan Brody of Highland Village, Texas, for his exceptional service, tireless dedication, and unwavering commitment to the people of Texas' 13th Congressional District. Bryan has been with my office since the beginning. As a trusted advisor, he helped build and lead Team Jackson from the ground up. His leadership and insight were invaluable as we worked daily to deliver results for the constituents of Texas' 13th Congressional District.

A proud Texan through and through, Bryan graduated summa cum laude from Houston Christian University, where he was a standout both on the soccer field and in student government. During his college years, he pursued two internships on Capitol Hill, where his curiosity, dedication, and love for our Nation's values stood out.

Bryan began his career in Washington as a Staff Assistant for Senator John Cornyn and quickly earned a reputation for being a hard worker who was quick on his feet. He went on to serve as a Military Legislative Correspondent for Senate Armed Services Committee Chairman Jim Inhofe, where he developed a deep understanding of defense policy and America's military.

This expertise became critical when he joined my office as a Military Legislative Assistant, where his policy and procedural knowledge across both chambers of Congress helped advance key legislative victories for Sheppard Air Force Base, the Pantex Plant, and the many defense equities and military families I represent. Bryan's sharp, strategic mind was also instrumental in getting my first piece of legislation signed into law--the Maintaining American Superiority by Improving Export Control Transparency Act. Whether serving as Legislative Director, Deputy Chief of Staff, and eventually my Chief of Staff, Bryan was essential in helping me become a leader on the House Armed Services, Intelligence, Foreign Affairs, and Agriculture Committees.

His accomplishments continue to be recognized by his alma mater, receiving the 2024 Houston Christian University Emerging Leader Award, an honor bestowed upon alumni from the past decade who have achieved early career success and made a positive impact in their communities.

Today, Bryan continues to serve our country as a Special Assistant to President Donald J. Trump. In this role, he will continue to fight for our America First agenda and the hardworking men and women of this great Nation.

Although Bryan has taken on new challenges, his impact on my office and the people of Texas' 13th Congressional District will be felt for years to come. On behalf of myself, my staff, and the constituents I proudly serve, I want to thank Bryan Brody for his years of loyal service, his commitment to excellence, and his patriotic spirit. I wish him the very best as he continues to work diligently for the American people.
