                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, April 11, 2024

  Mr. GUTHRIE. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Elaina Murphy for her 
service to Kentucky's Second District. A Nicholasville, Kentucky 
native, Elaina obtained her Bachelors Degree from Centre College in 
2015 and her Masters Degree from George Washington University in 2017.
  Nearly a decade ago, I welcomed Elaina to my team as a summer intern 
in July 2015 before she transitioned to become my Staff Assistant until 
December 2015. In August 2016, I welcomed her back to my office as my 
Legislative Correspondent. She has since advanced to roles as 
Legislative Assistant, Senior Legislative Assistant, and most recently 
Senior Policy Advisor. Elaina has worked tirelessly in nearly every 
legislative area in my office with particular interests in foreign 
affairs, energy, and telecommunications. She has been essential to many 
projects in my office, including spearheading the Spectrum Caucus, and 
has been a passionate advocate for America's gold standard military 
installation, Fort Knox.
  I want to thank Elaina for her work serving her home state and 
Kentucky's Second District as a constant, reliable member of my team. I 
wish her the best as she excels in this next chapter of her career on 
Capitol Hill expanding her work in foreign affairs as she goes to work 
for the House Intelligence Committee.
