Ms. SLOTKIN. Mr. Speaker, today I rise with others from the Michigan delegation and onward to recognize Samantha Woll, a former member of my staff, a member of the House of Representatives' staff, and a passionate advocate who was taken from us on October 21, 2023.

It is important to me, as I know it is to my colleagues who knew her directly, that we honor the way Sam lived.

From working in my very first congressional office to serving as the president of her synagogue in Detroit, Sam had profound faith, not just as a Jewish woman but an abiding faith in humanity and a passion for interfaith relations, something that right now is more than ever important to our country.

In closing, I ask my colleagues for a moment of silence for Sam, for her family, for her community, for our State, and send my deepest condolences to her loved ones in Michigan.
