                         Tuesday, June 3, 2025

  Mr. BILIRAKIS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the outstanding 
contributions that Mercedes Anderson-Brando has made through her 
volunteerism at Gulf Highlands Elementary School. Mercedes supports the 
school in so many ways. She is at every School Advisory Council (SAC) 
meeting, supports all extra-curricular events, and consistently pitches 
in whenever needed. The students know her and look forward to seeing 
her around campus.
  It is clear Mercedes Anderson-Brando has made a profoundly positive 
impact on our community, and I am grateful for her service. May we all 
strive to serve our communities with the same dedication and humility.
