E418 | Congressional Record, Volume 172 Issue 78 (Thursday, May 7, 2026) [Congressional Record Volume 172, Number 78 (Thursday, May 7, 2026)] [Extensions of Remarks] [Pages E418-E419] From the Congressional Record Online through the Government Publishing Office [www.gpo.gov] HONORING KATHERINE GETTY KOOHMARAIE AND HER SERVICE TO VIRGINIA'S 1ST CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT ______ HON. ROBERT J. WITTMAN of virginia in the house of representatives Thursday, May 7, 2026 Mr. WITTMAN. Mr. Speaker. I rise today to honor Katherine Getty Koohmaraie and her service and contributions to Virginia's 1st District and the Nation. Katherine joined my team in March of last year from Emergent BioSolutions, where she was head of federal affairs, after serving at the NRCC for two cycles. Before her campaign experience, she pursued her master's degree in public administration at George Washington University and worked at Akin Gump, where she helped health-care clients achieve their objectives. Katherine is also a proud alum of the University of Florida. Katherine served as a mentor and leader for the legislative team and the entire office, sharing her expertise and knowledge with the rest of my team. Her counsel and guidance have shaped my staff into the most effective and successful team on Capitol Hill. Katherine was highly motivated, thoughtful, and kind. In a role that demands precision, flexibility, and the ability to delegate responsibilities thoughtfully, she consistently rose to the occasion. Above all, Katherine's willingness to teach and mentor other staff in the office allowed her to foster a positive and collaborative environment that will be missed. Through her tireless work she leaves behind a legacy of excellence. I would like to thank Katherine for her many contributions and dedicated service over the last year. She has been an invaluable member of my team, and I wish her the best of luck as she moves on to the next chapter of her professional career with Representative Neal Dunn in the Florida Delegation. May God bless her as she embarks on a new challenge, and I look forward to seeing her continued success in the future. Mr. Speaker, I ask you to join me in recognizing Katherine Getty Koohmaraie for her service to Virginia's 1st District and the Nation. [[Page E419]] ____________________ |
