  Mr. MESSER. Mr. Speaker, I rise to recognize a former member of my 
staff, Josh Owens, for his work in my office and his service to our 
state.
  Josh served in my Washington, D.C. office as an economic policy 
adviser during my first term in Congress. In that role, he served as 
the staff lead for our work on the House Budget Committee, he helped 
develop legislation, and advised me on economic policy issues. Since 
leaving our office, Josh has taught economics at Butler and Indiana 
University and now serves as the CEO of SupplyKick, a thriving 
Indianapolis-based online marketplace retailer.
  On a personal note, I cherish my friendship with Josh and his 
parents. Josh and I are both proud alums of Wabash College too. I wish 
him and Andy continued success in all that remains ahead for their 
family.
