Thank you, mister speaker. With pride and admiration, I rise to congratulate Zach and Tessa Stinson of Chambersburg on their impressive performances in the one hundred thirtieth Boston Marathon. Zach dominated the hand cycle division to win his fourth Boston Marathon title, and Tessa finished her first ever Boston Marathon. Zach, a previous champion in 2021, '23, and '24, covered the 26.2 mile course in just over an hour. A United States Marine Corps veteran, Zach lost his legs after stepping on an IED while serving in Afghanistan in 2010.
He began competing in marathons in 2,012 and has made eight appearances in Boston. The day before the marathon, both Zach and Tessa threw out the ceremonial first pitches at Fenway Park. Congratulations to both Zach and Tessa for achievements that reflect athletic ability, endurance, and personal strength. Thank

Mister speaker, I rise to honor McCartney's of Altoona as they commemorate two milestones of success, one hundred years of family ownership in 2026 and one hundred forty years of operation in 2027. McCartney's was founded in 1887 by Thomas McCartney. In 1926, the business was purchased by John Tracy. Today, McCartney's is owned by Randy Green, who is John Tracy's great grandson. As workplace has adapted to changing needs over the years, the product lines at McCartney's have also expanded.
Defined by a commitment to personal service, McCartney's has cultivated a loyal customer base throughout Pennsylvania, Maryland, and West Virginia. Congratulations to Randy Green and his entire team at McCartney's on these milestones. I express my personal gratitude for your enduring contributions to economic development as a valued family owned business. Thank you. Mister speaker, I rise today to speak in favor of a bipartisan bill that I reintroduced last week known as the Dairy Pride Act.
This legislation will restore honesty in how we label the foods that Americans rely on every day. As a doctor, I have seen firsthand how proper nutrition shapes long term health. Dairy products provide essential nutrients that support strong bones, brain function, and muscle health. But today, consumers are increasingly faced with products labeled as milk or cheese or yogurt that do not meet the same nutritional standards. This is not just a labeling issue.
It's a public health issue. When families are misled at the grocery store, they cannot make fully informed decisions about their nutrition. The Dairy Pride Act both supports our hardworking dairy farmers and protects the American consumer. As this enters the legislative process, I urge all of my colleagues to support this common sense reform. Thank you.
