Mr. EMMER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Dennis Nalls, our floor director, who just concluded one decade of service here in the House of Representatives.
solver, Dennis is someone whom anyone would want to have on the ice with them. More importantly, he is someone whom anyone would want to have going into the corner with them.
role in delivering win after win on this floor despite the naysayers and despite the headwinds. He has gained the trust and confidence of Members from across the Conference, allowing us to lead one of the most successful whip operations in recent memory.
Families Tax Cuts, or the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, or as the President now calls it, the one big, beautiful tax cut. For Dennis, the floor team, and our Members, it was a long few days.
light, I think it was over 60 hours straight—in July of 2025, we were able to secure historic tax cuts for the American people, strengthen our border security policies, and make necessary reforms to root out waste, fraud, and abuse.
It is during the “down by a goal with only 2 minutes to play” times when you really rely on your teammates the most, and our House Republican team would not have been able to accomplish any of our wins without Dennis Nalls' help.
this entire body, we say a big thank you to Dennis Nalls. I thank Dennis for making the sacrifices to be here, nights away from his family and friends, missed trips and holidays, and weekends spent in the Halls of the Capitol. There was no better sendoff for Dennis than a late-night vote series and the passage of FISA, DHS appropriations, the Senate budget resolution, and the farm bill in less than 24 hours during his last week.
Dennis, I know you are here somewhere. Thank you again. We wish you, your wife, Casey, and your son, Dublin, all the best in your next chapter. Thank you for your service to our team, the House, and, most importantly, thank you for your service to our Nation.
