Congratulating Miriam Washut
In the Congressional Record of Jul 15, 2026.
Text in the Record
(Ms. HAGEMAN asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.) Ms. HAGEMAN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and congratulate high school senior Miriam Washut of Lander on winning the grand prize in the Presidential 1776 Award. This national civics contest challenges high school students across the country on their knowledge of the Founders, the Revolutionary War, and the documents that delivered the birth of our Republic. Miriam demonstrated her superior knowledge of America's founding at every stage of this national competition, earning her a well-earned prize of a $150,000 scholarship and a trip to the Oval Office where she told the President her plans to attend Wyoming Catholic College. Mr. Speaker, 250 years after the Declaration of Independence was signed, students like Miriam show the promise of our revolutionary principles carried on by the next generation for another 250 years. Mr. Speaker, I thank Miriam for making Wyoming proud with her profound interest in America's founding.
