This recognition is for all those who came and played pickleball last night. Representative Fairly and I wanted to thank everyone who was able to make it out to the pickleball tournament last night. And we also wanted to congratulate our winners, who are former state Representative Jason Isaac and his son Aidan Isaac. The competition was fierce, so Representative Carrie Isaac should be very proud to be a proud mother and a proud wife for the remarkable work of her husband and her son. We should also be very disappointed that no current member took the trophy, but a former member of the body is as great as we can get. And like many of you, I was not able to play last night. So I look forward to meeting Jason and Aidan at the court next session. Thank you all.
