                           HON. DANIEL MEUSER

                            of pennsylvania

                    in the house of representatives

                        Friday, January 3, 2020

  Mr. MEUSER. Madam Speaker, it is with great respect and admiration 
that I rise today to recognize Katie Hetherington-Cunfer, my office's 
Deputy District Director. Katie is moving on to serve our community in 
another capacity with the Greater Reading Chamber Alliance as their 
Director of Government and Community Relations.
  A lifelong resident of the Ninth District, Katie has dedicated her 
career to the betterment of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. After 
graduating from Penn State University in 2006, she went on to dutifully 
serve our great Commonwealth in multiple positions at the United States 
Department of Agriculture, the Pennsylvania Landscape and Nursery 
Association, and later the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental 
Protection serving as the Director of External Affairs for nearly five 
years.
  Joining my staff as Deputy District Director when I took office in 
January 2019, Katie brought with her a wealth of experience and 
knowledge, and even more importantly a passion to serve our 
constituents. With her dedication to our office's mission to serve the 
people of Pennsylvania's Ninth District at the forefront, Katie has 
been a tremendous leader of our district staff and a fantastic 
representative of our office in communities throughout the district.
  On behalf of myself and my staff, the U.S. House of Representatives 
and the citizens of The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, I ask my 
colleagues to join me in thanking Katie Hetherington-Cunfer for her 
service to the people of Pennsylvania's Ninth District and wish her the 
best in her future endeavors.
