                    in the house of representatives

                         Thursday, May 8, 2025

  Mr. FONG. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the outstanding 
group of interns who have supported the work of the 20th District of 
California this spring. These bright and driven young people--serving 
in my Washington, D.C. office and my Bakersfield, California office--
have brought a spirit of dedication and enthusiasm that enriched our 
team. At a time when many young Americans are questioning the role of 
public service, their eagerness to engage with the federal government 
on behalf of their communities offers real encouragement for the future 
of our Nation.
  With their time in Congress reaching its close, I want to extend my 
heartfelt thanks to Jonathan Clark, Justin Gibbins, and Jack Putrino 
for their work in my Washington, D.C. office, and Ava Dykes for her 
service in my Bakersfield, California office. Their hard work and 
dedication have been invaluable, and I hope that the experiences gained 
here will serve them well in their future endeavors.
