                       Friday, September 26, 2025

  Mr. EDWARDS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and commend the 
extraordinary service of the iHeartRadio Asheville team to the people 
of Western North Carolina during and after Hurricane Helene.
  Under the steady leadership of Brian Hall, and through the tireless 
efforts of broadcasters such as Mark Starling, Tank Spencer, Eddie and 
Amanda Foxx, and many others, iHeartRadio Asheville became a lifeline 
for our mountain communities. Their around-the-clock coverage reunited 
families, connected neighbors with life-saving resources, and delivered 
accurate, timely updates when our region faced one of its darkest 
hours.
  Western North Carolina is stronger today because of the courage and 
dedication of these broadcasters. Their work is a powerful reminder of 
the vital role that local journalism and community-centered 
broadcasting play in times of crisis.
  On behalf of the people of North Carolina's 11th District, I extend 
my deepest gratitude to iHeartRadio Asheville for being a steady voice 
of truth, comfort, and resilience when our communities needed it most.
