Floor Speech

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mr. GUTHRIE. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Kaitlyn Peterson for her service to the House Committee on Energy and Commerce.

A graduate of the University of Minnesota and native of Massapequa, Long Island, New York, Kaitlyn began her career in Washington, D.C. as a Staff Assistant and Deputy Scheduler for former Chairman of the House Committee on Energy and Commerce, Rep. Fred Upton (MI-06). She later became his Legislative Correspondent and Special Projects Director before joining the House Committee on Energy and Commerce as Lead Legislative Clerk for the Subcommittee on Energy, Climate, and Grid Security and the Subcommittee on Environment, Manufacturing, and Critical Minerals under Chair Cathy McMorris Rodgers. She then joined my team and became Policy Analyst for the Subcommittee on Environment where she led the committee efforts behind H.J. Res. 87, H.J. Res. 88, and H.J. 89 which were signed into law in June of this year.

After serving the U.S. House of Representatives for nearly four years, Kaitlyn will depart the House Committee on Energy and Commerce to take a position with the Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works, handling a portfolio of energy, fish, and wildlife issues. I thank her for her service to the committee and wish her well in her new endeavor.
