                 RECOGNIZING REDMAN & COMPANY INSURANCE

<bullet> Mr. RISCH. Mr. President, Idaho small businesses are the 
backbone of our economy and our communities. These small businesses not 
only employ our friends and neighbors, but provide invaluable goods and 
services that showcase shared Idaho values. They are an intrinsic 
element of the Gem State and deserve to be celebrated.
  I am proud to relaunch my successful statewide initiative Support 
Local Gems this year on June 6 to encourage Idahoans to support the 
small businesses that make our State thrive. As a member and former 
chairman of the Senate Committee on Small Business and 
Entrepreneurship, I am pleased to honor Redman & Company Insurance 
during Support Local Gems as one of Idaho's Small Businesses of the 
Month for June 2025.
  Redman & Company Insurance was founded in 1992 by Eric and Sue Redman 
with the goal of providing the best possible care to the people of 
Rathdrum. In 2005, their son Jordan and his wife Amy joined the family 
business. After growing the Redman & Company Insurance for 20 years, 
Eric and Sue sold the agency to Jordan, Amy, and Josh and Nicole 
Tebbee.
  The agency quickly became an industry and community leader, with 
Jordan serving as a board member for region I of the Independent 
Insurance Agents & Brokers of Idaho and earning the 2018 Young Agent of 
the Year Award. In 2019, Redman & Company split into two agencies, 
Redman's and Tebbee's; and Redman & Company Insurance moved to Coeur 
d'Alene.
  Today, Redman & Company Insurance is deeply involved in the north 
Idaho community. From supporting various organizations, including 
Ronald McDonald House, Second Harvest, and Tunnel to Towers, to their 
partnership with the State of Idaho to provide time off for new foster 
parents, Redman & Company Insurance makes giving back to their 
community a top priority.
  Congratulations to Jordan, Amy, and all of the employees at Redman & 
Company Insurance for being selected as an Idaho Small Business of the 
Month for June 2025. You are an outstanding example of what it means to 
be one of Idaho's Local Gems. You make our great State proud, and I 
look forward to your continued growth and success.<bullet>
