Ms. GARCIA of Texas. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate one of my constituents, Miraj Patel, on becoming the first Houstonian and the youngest person ever to lead the Asian American Hotel Owners Association in its 35-year history.

In Miraj, they have elected a young man born and raised in my district to be the leader of the largest hotel owners association in the United States, with over 20,000 members.

Miraj's passion for the hotel industry started in his family's 30- room motel on Wayside Drive, in the heart of my district. Now, it has grown into an American success story and proves that your dreams can come true.

I am truly excited about Miraj's vision and what it will bring to the Asian American Hotel Owners Association. I know, from his heart, he will always put people first.

Mr. Speaker, I congratulate and wish Miraj nothing but success in his new endeavor.
