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 2021 TRUMAN SCHOLARS” mentioning Ron Johnson was published in the Extensions of Remarks section on page E508 on May 12.
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.

HON. DUSTY JOHNSON

Wednesday, May 12, 2021
Mr. JOHNSON of South Dakota. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize the 2021 Truman Scholars. These 62 individuals were chosen from a record applicant pool of 845. These students were nominated based on their records of leadership, public service, and academic achievement.
They are: Sagal Ahmed, Joris Alawoe, Abigail Alvarez, Oseremhen Arheghan, Sarah Beisner, Mercedes Blancaflor, Tarik Brown, Tatyana Brown, Alessandra Brussel Faria, Sophie Cardin, Yu Jing Chen, Ronnie Clevenstine, Jarrell Daniels, Dominique DiSpirito, David Edgerton III, Cosimo Fabrizio, Max German, Carlee Goldberg, Catherine Hadley, Nicholas Hakes, Halima Hamud, Noah Harris, Austin Hickle, Emma Hotz, Chanise Jackson, Cassandra James, Andre Jimenez, Gurtaran Johal, Dhwani Kharel, Jessica Lambert, Chase Lee, Mia LeJeune, Abel Liu, Destiny Magnett, Thor Manson, Gregory Marchal, Kehani Mendiola, Gregory Miller, Rachel Miner, Jenna Mu, Daud Mumin, Araoluwa Omotowa, Iesha-LaShay Phillips, Sage Phillips, Lexi Raikes, Makaila Ranges, Tayna Rivera Rodriguez, Abigail Roston, Grace Roy, Eli Sabin, Naomi See, Sakshi Sehgal, Hillary Shah, Olivia Shipp, Abigail Smith, Klarke Stricklen, Coleman Warren, Claire Wayner, Sena Wazer, Max Williamson, Samuel Zahn, and Felita Zhang.
The Truman Foundation was established by Congress in 1975 to honor President Harry S. Truman's legacy of extraordinary public service. The Truman Scholarship serves as a living monument to that legacy. As a former Truman scholar myself, I look forward to seeing how this class continues that legacy.
