Congressional Record, Volume 171 Issue 39 (Thursday, February 27, 2025) [Congressional Record Volume 171, Number 39 (Thursday, February 27, 2025)] [Extensions of Remarks] [Page E171] From the Congressional Record Online through the Government Publishing Office [ www.gpo.gov ] RECOGNIZING BRIAN MATHIOWETZ ______ HON. BRAD FINSTAD of minnesota in the house of representatives Thursday, February 27, 2025 Mr. FINSTAD. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize a community leader and my good friend, Brian Mathiowetz, who received the 2024 Lifetime Achievement Award from the Associated General Contractors last Tuesday. Brian joined the family business, Mathiowetz Construction, full-time in 1981, working for his father Richard. Brian quickly proved to be a driving force behind the company's growing success, recognizing early on that good businesses invest in good people. Across southern Minnesota, Mathiowetz Construction has become a respected name in the industry, relied upon by federal, state, and local partners, as well as commercial and private customers who have trusted Brian and his family business to bring these important projects to completion. His leadership has grown the now-fourth-generation company into one of southern Minnesota's leading employers. Brian has contributed in many ways to the growth and development of Minnesota's First Congressional District, building many of the roads and bridges that connect us to our families and neighbors. To me, there is no one more deserving of this Lifetime Achievement Award. I congratulate Brian on earning this accomplishment and thank him for his years of dedication to building a better community for all of us in southern Minnesota. ____________________
