March 18 sees Congressional Record publish “RECOGNIZING THE FRONTLINE HEALTHCARE WORKERS OF SOUTH DAKOTA” in the Extensions of Remarks section

Politics 15 edited

Volume 167, No. 51, covering the 1st Session of the 117th Congress (2021 - 2022), was published by the Congressional Record.

The Congressional Record is a unique source of public documentation. It started in 1873, documenting nearly all the major and minor policies being discussed and debated.

“RECOGNIZING THE FRONTLINE HEALTHCARE WORKERS OF SOUTH DAKOTA” mentioning Ron Johnson was published in the Extensions of Remarks section on pages E267-E270 on March 18.

Of the 100 senators in 117th Congress, 24 percent were women, and 76 percent were men, according to the Biographical Directory of the United States Congress.

Senators' salaries are historically higher than the median US income.

The publication is reproduced in full below:

Over the past year they have faced challenges most of us cannot even imagine. They have shown incredible resolve in the face of adversity. They have shown us all how to seek positivity and hope in each day as we weather the storms that come our way.

I couldn't be more thankful to represent the incredible people across South Dakota and all over the nation who work hard each day, not for fame, not for recognition or for money, but for the betterment of their communities. This is what makes America strong. I am grateful for the opportunity to recognize these hardworking individuals.
