scott rabb, terry van dorn and erica swarez each played a role in this. i thank them. my personal office staff that each day helps my whole team keep kentucky at the forefront of anything we're working on. i can't thank them all enough, and to many others in both my state operation, especially terry carmac and my leader of the office team, while i can't name everyone by name, know that my appreciation goes to each of you as well. and of course steph macha, my director of operations, she keeps everything running and is always working, and i can't imagine this success without her. and finally, to the man who has been the steady hand in the tax reform effort in my office, brendan daugh. his leadership and counsel over the last several months has been absolutely unparalleled. brendan many days worked around the clock to hear from our constituents and help us get to the passage of this incredibly significant piece of legislation. he worked with the committees to draft language, rework ideas, present thoughts and prioritize member feedback. i couldn't be more proud of brenda
