CONGRATULATING JULIA HAMBLEN
The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Chair recognizes the gentleman from
Indiana (Mr. Pence) for 5 minutes.
Mr. PENCE. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Julia Hamblen of
Shelbyville, Indiana, on her new role as Indiana FFA President.
A 2020 graduate of Shelbyville High School, Julia will be taking a
gap year so she can serve as President of the Indiana FFA before
attending Purdue University to study ag education.
Congratulations, Julia. You are a true role model to so many students
and you are making the Sixth District proud.
Congratulations to Precise Tooling Solutions
Mr. PENCE. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Precise Tooling
Solutions for winning the 2020 MoldMaking Technology Leadtime Leader
Award.
Based in my hometown of Columbus, Indiana, Precise Tooling strives to
create a ``Team First'' working environment that leads with customers
and quality.
I congratulate my friend, Don Dumoulin, and the Precise Tooling team
on this tremendous accomplishment.
Supporting Rural Communities' Need for Broadband Service
Mr. PENCE. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to urge my colleagues to support
rural communities during this difficult time.
Last week at the Transportation and Infrastructure Committee markup
of Nancy Pelosi's infrastructure bill, I offered two commonsense
amendments to enhance broadband in rural districts.
I was disappointed that the Democrats rejected these attempts to
bring the benefits of broadband service to the remote areas of our
country, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic.
It is critical that every family in America have access to broadband
internet connection, no matter their ZIP Code.
Mr. Speaker, I urge my colleagues to support the inclusion of rural
America in future legislation, because it is our duty to keep America
connected for generations to come.
Supporting Hoosier Law Enforcement
Mr. PENCE. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to show my support for law
enforcement in the Hoosier State and all across America.
Hoosier law enforcement officers keep our families and loved ones
safe, and they deserve our support.
I 100 percent oppose defunding the police and limiting qualified
immunity. It is absolutely the wrong thing to do.
I support the President's executive order on Safe Policing for Safe
Communities, and I believe the right steps are being made to protect
our communities.
Mr. Speaker, I thank all the men and women who wear a badge to
protect and keep our country safe.
Showing Up To Washington, D.C.
Mr. PENCE. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to urge my colleagues on both
sides of the aisle to show up here in Congress to work for the American
people.
Nurses, doctors, first responders, food supply workers, and so many
others are showing up to work every day. Why is the House of
Representatives not doing the same?
I am here working on behalf of the people of Indiana's Sixth
District, and I will always do so by showing up in Washington, D.C.
It is time for the House to show up right here in this Chamber.
