Ms. BUDZINSKI. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the class of interns who supported my office during the 2024 spring semester. Their incredible dedication to public service and commitment to learning has been truly inspirational, and the contributions they have made to Illinois' 13th Congressional District have had a significant impact.

In my Washington office, I was honored to work alongside Joshua Diamond, Will Daugherty, and Alexander Goldstein. These three interns have worked tirelessly to support my staff and have done an excellent job navigating the turbulent nature of Congress. From preparing for the State of the Union to helping my office work through appropriations requests, the policy experience and knowledge that these three individuals gained is truly impressive.

Back in Illinois, I was proud to work with Megan McCarthy in my Springfield office and Aidan Joyce in my Champaign office. Their commitment to constituent service by assisting my casework team has been amazing, and I am so proud of the work they have accomplished serving the people of Illinois' 13th Congressional District.

The impact that these individuals have had on my office will be felt for years to come, and we will be very sad to say farewell to this group of interns. I thank Joshua, William, Alexander, Megan, and Aidan, for their service. I wish them all the best as they continue their professional and academic journeys.
