Recognizing the U.S. Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions Staff

This was a tribute rather than a legislative debate: Senator Cassidy spoke ahead of the August recess to recognize the staff of the Senate Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions Committee, saying the Senate’s bipartisan work depends on staff, who advocate for constituents and help carry out the committee’s work for the American people. No bill or policy was discussed.Written by AI from the debate. Updated .

Official Congressional Record

Mr. President, as we move into the August recess, I would like to remind my colleagues that the bipartisan work the Senate does each day on behalf of the American people is possible in no small part because of our staff. Staff are always the first in line advocating for constituents and making American lives better, dedicating themselves to public service. As I wrap up my time in this Chamber and as the chair of the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions, I would like to thank my staff director Matthew Gallivan, my deputy staff director Danielle Janowski, and all of the staff that have served under their leadership: Margie Almanza, Ben Arquit, Will Arthur, Caroline Benson, Elizabeth Bielic, Bryce Billiot, Ty Bofferding, Garrett Buttrey, Daniel Chasen, Matthew Chingos, Sophie Conners, Claire Dunn, Cameron Durham, Jake Easter, Alaura Ervin, Keith Fernandez, Kyle Fortson, Patrick Fox, Romney Gripado, Kathryn Handler, Jackson Hern, Megan Kinner, Sinclair Kouns, Jeffrey Last, Stephen Lewernez, Alycia Maloney, Chad Miller, Anna Rose Moore, Clare Paoletta, Daniel Parker, Matthew Penner, Gigi Powers, TJ Prame, Joe Ramallo, Kristen Shatynski, Chung Shek, Michael Sinacore, Ryan Sweeney, Joanne Thomas, Matthew Thomas, Brianna Tibbetts, Dominic Travis, Todd Tuten, Luce Tysor, Jack Uhl, Micah Wortham, and Frank Zhang.
