COLBURN\n\n ______\n\n HON. ANDY HARRIS\n\n of maryland\n\n in the house of representatives\n\n Tuesday, December 31, 2024\n\n Mr. HARRIS. Mr. Speaker, this past Friday I learned with great\nsadness about the passing of Senator Richard Colburn, a dedicated\npublic servant and an Eastern Shore patriot who devoted his life to the\nservice and betterment of the people of the State of Maryland.\n Senator Colburn and I served together in the Maryland State Senate.\nHe arrived to the Maryland General Assembly first as a State Delegate\nabout sixteen years prior to my being elected to the Maryland Senate in\n1999. By that time, Rich Colburn had already been serving as a State\nSenator for four years. He quickly became my mentor, dear colleague,\nand a trusted friend. For a period, Rich and I served on the Education,\nHealth and Environmental Affairs Committee. As a devoted Eastern\nShoreman and a son of a waterman, Senator Colburn knew how crucial it\nis for the government to be accountable, transparent, honest, and\nhelpful to its citizens. As such, he made constituent casework and\nassisting his fellow Marylanders his top priroity.\n As a ``Shore Senator,'' Rich fought on behalf of his constituents\nwith fervor and purpose. During his time in the legislature, he\nintroduced hundreds of bills, at times reaching across the aisle to\npromote projects and priorities he believed would benefit the Shore.\nOne of his greatest accomplishments was the multi-decade battle led to\nhis securing over $60 million to replace the Dover Bridge; a vital\nartery connecting Southern Caroline and Talbot Counties on the Eastern\nShore. The bridge finally opened in 2018 with great fanfare. Among his\nmany other accomplishments was his success in the preservation of the\nEaston hospital, widening U.S. Route 50, increasing benefits for\nveterans and law enforcement, and obtaining funding for restoration of\nthe Chesapeake Bay's oyster population. He advocated for businesses and\ntourism on the Shore to lift and support the local economy by helping\nprovide funding for the Choptank River Lighthouse and bringing in the\nHyatt hotel to Cambridge, among others.\n Richard Franklin Colburn was born on February 9, 1950 and grew up in\nOxford, Maryland. After graduating from the Easton High School, Rich\nserved in the United States Army Security Agency posted in Germany\nduring the height of the Cold War. He left after three years with the\nArmy, achieving the rank of Sergeant. After his return to Maryland, he\nworked in private practice. He was elected to the House of Delegates in\n1983, where he served until 1991 before he ascended to the State Senate\nin 1995. Senator Colburn became the longest serving Republican Senator\n\n[[Page E1336]]\n\nin the Senate. After his service in elected office, he served as\nSpecial Assistant to Agriculture Secretary Joe Bartenfelder under\nGovernor Larry Hogan. His district included the counties of Caroline,\nDorchester, Talbot and Wicomico.\n Senator Richard Colburn passed away suddenly on Friday, December 27,\n2024, in Easton at the age of 74 years old. I would like to express my\nsincere condolences to his loving wife Alma, daughter Johanna Hamilton\n(Bobby), granddaughter Saylor and sister Marie, as well as the entire\nextended Colburn family and friends. The Eastern Shore is forever\ngrateful for Senator Colburn's commitment to service and his dedication\nto Maryland.\n\n ____________________"], ["CREC-2024-12-31-pt1-PgE1336-2", "2024-12-31", 118, 2, null, null, "RECOGNIZING EDUCATORS IN TX-18", "HOUSE", "EXTENSIONS", "RECOGNIZING", "E1336", "E1336", "[{\"name\": \"Erica Lee Carter\", \"role\": \"speaking\"}]", null, "170 Cong.

Mr. Reaser was a\ntalented musician and beloved band director whose career spanned over\n30 years in Salem, Virginia, most notably leaving a lasting impact on\nSalem High School.\n Mr. Reaser was born on July 28, 1940, in Nitro, West Virginia. His\nparents, Artie Lda Shomo and Marvin Dennis Reaser, Sr., raised him in\nSt. Albans, West Virginia, with a very modest family lifestyle.\n Music remained a necessity for the Reaser household, with piano\nlessons being a requirement for Mr. Reaser, his sister, Sally, and his\nbrother, David. During his tenure at St. Albans Jr. High, Mr. Reaser\nplayed in the High School Band, which was directed by Alan Farley. Mr.\nFarley saw something remarkable about Mr. Reaser's musical ability and\nwould not soon forget his four-year impact on the school.\n Mr. Reaser then enlisted in the United States Navy after attending\none year of college. He served for four years in the Navy, from Africa\nto Saudi Arabia, playing his trumpet for the Navy Band. Upon Mr.\nReaser's return from his service overseas, he landed two teaching jobs\nas band director for two different high schools, notably without a\ncollege degree--a testament to his skill and talent.\n By 1968, Mr. Reaser earned his undergraduate degree from Morris\nHarvey College (now University of Charleston) in Charleston, West\nVirginia. This same year, his former high school band director, Mr.\nFarley, who had been working at Andrew Lewis High School in Salem, VA,\nreached out to Mr. Reaser asking for him to apply to the Band Director\njob there. After landing the job one year later, Mr. Reaser joined a\nteam that would shape his career for the next 30 years. With Mr.\nReaser's directing style closely mirroring what he had learned from the\nUnited States Navy, the award-winning Andrew Lewis High Band was widely\nknown for their student-led governance with emphasis on excellence and\nhard work.\n When Andrew Lewis HS closed and its students were merged into Salem\nHigh School (Salem, VA), he became the band leader there.\n Mr. Reaser, throughout his tenure as a band director, participated in\na number of complementary pursuits, such as playing trumpet for gigs in\nthe surrounding areas of Southwest Virginia, authoring a book, and even\nearning his master's degree in music composition from Radford\nUniversity.\n In 2001, Mr. Reaser earned a key to the city from the Salem City\nCouncil, marking his retirement from Salem City Schools on a day that\nwas dubbed ``Dennis Reaser Day'' by the City of Salem. However, he knew\nhe had more to teach and went on to work as a band director for the\nHargrave Military Academy for three years and then assistant principal\nfor First Flight High School for over 10 years.\n Mr. Reaser retired for good in 2015 and spent the remainder of his\nlife composing and arranging music, playing in community bands and\nsurrounding himself with his family and friends. Mr. Reaser\nunfortunately was diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease in his final seven\nyears, but always stayed ahead of his disease, averaging five to ten\nthousand steps per day instead of allowing the symptoms to overcome\nhim.\n While I was never a member of the Andrew Lewis High School marching\nband as a student there, I was proud to know Mr. Reaser and admired his\nwork both with the marching band and all the other programs,\nparticularly the annual Opus.\n Mr. Marvin Dennis Reaser, Jr. was a true example of someone who\ndelivers excellence to communities with his passion for music. He will\nbe remembered for his outstanding work as a teacher, a veteran, and\nfamily man.\n\n ____________________"], ["CREC-2024-12-31-pt1-PgH-FrontMatter-3", "2024-12-31", 118, 2, null, null, "Senate", "HOUSE", "HOUSE", "FRONTMATTER", "H7429", "H7429", null, null, "170 Cong.

He embodied the very best of America: A\nhumble servant of God and the people. A heroic champion of global peace\nand human rights, and an honorable leader whose moral clarity and\nhopeful vision lifted our Nation and changed our world.\n The son of a farmer and a nurse, President Carter's remarkable career\nin public service began in 1943 as a cadet at the United States Naval\nAcademy. He later served in both the Atlantic and Pacific fleets before\nbecoming a decorated lieutenant, and being selected to join the elite\nnuclear submarine program.\n After his father died, he shifted from active duty to the Navy\nReserve and returned home to Plains, Georgia, to help manage his\nfamily's peanut farm. He worked hard stewarding the land while leading\nhis community as a church deacon, Sunday school teacher, and board\nmember of a hospital and library. His deep faith inspired a passion for\npublic service that led him to be elected State Senator, Georgia's 76th\nGovernor, and ultimately President of the United States.\n As President, he understood that Government must be as good as its\npeople--and his faith in the people was boundless just as his belief in\nAmerica was limitless and his hope for our common future was perennial.\n With President Carter's leadership, the modern Department of\nEducation and the Department of Energy were created. He championed\nconservation and his commitment to a more just world was at the heart\nof his foreign policy, leading on nuclear nonproliferation, signing the\nPanama Canal treaties, and mediating the historic 1978 Camp David\nAccords. His partnership with Vice President Walter Mondale is one that\nfuture administrations strived to achieve.\n Following his Presidency, President Carter advanced an agenda that\nelevated the least among us. Guided by an unwavering belief in the\npower of human goodness and the God-given dignity of every human being,\nhe worked tirelessly around the globe to broker peace; eradicate\ndisease; house the homeless; and protect human rights, freedom, and\ndemocracy.\n Through his extraordinary moral leadership, President Carter lived a\nnoble life full of meaning and purpose. And as a trusted spiritual\nleader, he shepherded people through seasons of pain and joy, inspiring\nthem through the power of his example and healing them through the\npower of his guidance.\n As we mourn the loss of President Carter, we hold the memory of his\nbeloved Rosalynn, his wife of over 77 Years, close in our hearts.\nExemplifying hope, warmth, and service, she and her husband inspired\nthe Nation. The love Rosalynn and President Carter shared is the\ndefinition of partnership, and their devotion to public service is the\ndefinition of patriotism.\n May President Carter's memory continue to be a light pointing us\nforward. May we continue to be guided by his spirit in our Nation and\nin our world.\n Joseph R. Biden, Jr.\nThe White House, December 30, 2024.\n\n ____________________"], ["CREC-2024-12-31-pt1-PgH7430-3", "2024-12-31", 118, 2, null, null, "EXPRESSING THE PROFOUND REGRET AND SORROW OF THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES ON THE DEATH OF JAMES EARL CARTER, JR., THIRTY-NINTH PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA", "HOUSE", "HOUSE", "ALLOTHER", "H7430", "H7430", null, "[{\"congress\": \"118\", \"type\": \"HRES\", \"number\": \"1626\"}, {\"congress\": \"118\", \"type\": \"HRES\", \"number\": \"1626\"}, {\"congress\": \"118\", \"type\": \"HRES\", \"number\": \"1626\"}]", "170 Cong.

ANNA G. ESHOO\n\n of california\n\n in the house of representatives\n\n Tuesday, December 24, 2024\n\n Ms. ESHOO. Mr. Speaker, the San Mateo Daily Journal, an independent\ndaily newspaper that covers San Mateo County, California, is in its\n25th year of publication, covering local news, community events and\nyouth sports. It has become an essential part of the daily life of San\nMateo County, and its residents look to it for accurate, fair, relevant\nand impartial local news. The paper features extensive coverage of high\nschool sports, and offers a variety of opinions from local columnists,\nsuch as my long-time friend Mark Simon, as well as a forum for Letters\nto the Editor and longer perspective pieces. It is an essential source\nof information for local government, and steadily and responsibly\nfulfills the watchdog role inherent in a good local newspaper. It is\nthe only local newspaper published in San Mateo County that publishes a\ndaily edition Monday through Friday, and a combined weekend edition\nthat appears Saturdays and Sundays.\n The Daily Journal was launched on August 18, 2000, with a news staff\nof two, plus advertising, production, and circulation staff. Its first\nedition contained 8 pages and its initial circulation was 5,000. Today,\nthe staff includes up to 20 full-time and part-time employees and\ncontract workers. The Daily Journal averages 28 pages and the\ncirculation ranges from 21,000 to 30,000 daily editions. It is\navailable in local cafes, stores, businesses and public and community\ngathering places and its digital edition, smdailyjournal.com, averages\n750,000 views a month.\n Co-Founder Jerry Lee has been the publisher since day one as part of\na Berkeley-based organization that expanded its local news model to San\nMateo County. In 2006, Lee bought the paper from the founding\norganization which went out of business, and has been the owner since.\n In an era when local newspapers are rapidly disappearing, Lee said,\n``We were able to jump out of the gate and be profitable from the\nbeginning,'' a trend that has continued throughout the paper's 25\nyears.\n Editor Jon Mays came to the Daily Journal as Managing Editor in\nOctober of 2000 and has served as Editor in Chief since December 2001.\nSports Editor Nathan Mollat has been with the newspaper since its\nfounding. His sports pages and the special recognition given to\nindividual athletes weekly, every sports season and annually creates\nlifetime memories and keepsakes for high school students and their\nfamilies.\n The success of the paper is ``a testament to the people we have here,\nand the paper owes its success to the unique nature of San Mateo\nCounty. The market is more conducive to what we do, and it is one of\nthe most advanced educational areas of the world, but it is still very\nmuch a small town--a big city in small-town clothing. The mom-and-pop\nnature of the paper fits the mom-and-pop nature of the community,'' Lee\nsaid.\n The Daily Journal contributes to ``the creation of community,\nbringing people together in an age where there are not enough\ninstitutions working to do that. A good local paper is important to\nhave a thriving democracy,'' Lee said.\n The paper provides a forum for small to medium-sized advertisers who\ndon't find a place for themselves in larger daily newspapers or see\nonline advertising as too scattered. And the advertising is very much\nin keeping with the paper's mission as a local resource that promotes a\nsense of community.\n ``Local people want to know about services. Advertising is another\nform of information. A quarter of our advertisers don't need\nadvertising, they just want to support us,'' Lee said.\n Here is the stated mission of the Daily Journal:\n It is the mission of the Daily Journal to be the most accurate, fair\nand relevant local news source for those who live, work or play on the\nSan Francisco Peninsula. By combining local news coverage, analysis and\ninsight with the latest business, lifestyle, state, national and world\nnews, we seek to provide our readers with the highest quality\ninformation resource in the local area.\n Our pages belong to our readers, and we choose to reflect the diverse\ncharacter of this dynamic and ever-changing community.\n The Daily Journal's slogan is: We report to you.\n Mr. Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in honoring a jewel in\nthe crown of my Congressional District. The San Mateo Daily Journal is\na cherished community asset and I am exceedingly proud of all they've\naccomplished and continue to do as they serve the people of San Mateo\nCounty.\n\n ____________________"], ["CREC-2024-12-24-pt1-PgE1329-3", "2024-12-24", 118, 2, null, null, "HONORING THE LIFE OF PENNY ETSON RINEHART OF OLNEY, ILLINOIS", "HOUSE", "EXTENSIONS", "HONORING", "E1329", "E1329", "[{\"name\": \"Nikki Budzinski\", \"role\": \"speaking\"}]", null, "170 Cong.

Mr. Speaker, today I honor the life of Penny Etson\nRinehart of Olney, who passed away earlier this year.\n Born in Utica, New York, in 1953, Penny later attended the University\nof Illinois, where she double-majored in psychology and social work.\nAfter graduating, she dedicated her career to helping others, first as\na probation officer and then as a drug and alcohol counselor.\n While in college, Penny met Eric Reinhart, whom she married in Olney,\nIllinois, in 1977. Their marriage was a testament to love and\npartnership, filled with cherished adventures, including memorable\nbeach trips to Florida.\n Above all, Penny was a devoted wife, mother, grandmother, and friend\nto all who knew her. She and Eric raised two sons, Jonathan and\nWilliam, and were blessed with two granddaughters, Claudette and\nCamille. During this difficult time, I hold Penny's family in my\nthoughts and prayers.\n Penny's love, humor, and kindness touched the lives of many. Her\nimpact will be deeply felt by those who knew her and by the Springfield\ncommunity she called home. Penny will be greatly missed, but her legacy\nof compassion and warmth will endure.\n\n ____________________"], ["CREC-2024-12-24-pt1-PgE1329-4", "2024-12-24", 118, 2, null, null, "HONORING DR.

Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Dr. Renel\nBrooks-Moon as she receives the Key to the City of San Francisco from\nMayor London Breed. This prestigious recognition is a testament to\nRenel's extraordinary contributions to our community and her\ntrailblazing career in broadcasting and sports.\n Born in Oakland to her beloved educator parents Nathaniel and Juanita\nBrooks, who inspired her path to achievement and amazing journey and\nsuccess story, becoming one of the most beloved women luminaries in the\nBay Area.\n A Woodside High School and Mills College graduate, she began her\nbroadcasting career at KCBS and KFRC before breaking through at 106\nKMEL in 1986. Later, she woke up the San Francisco Bay Area with her\niconic ``Renel In The Morning'' show on 98.1 KISS-FM.\n She became the San Francisco Giants' public address announcer in 2000\nand excelled in the position for 24 years.\n As one of the first Black women in this role, Renel broke barriers\nand made history in Major League Baseball. She was the first woman to\nannounce a world championship game in any professional sport and the\nfirst to announce MLB's All-Star Game.\n Renel Brooks-Moon has had a profound impact on our community, not\nonly entertaining and informing us but also being a role model for\naspiring broadcasters, particularly women and people of color.\n Renel's impact extends beyond broadcasting. She has volunteered in\ncommunity service and received honorary doctorates from Mills College\nand the University of San Francisco, recognizing her contributions to\neducation and society.\n Her journey from a young Giants fan to the team's iconic voice that\nBay Area fans have loved for more than two decades exemplifies the\npower of perseverance and believing in your dreams.\n Mr. Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in honoring Dr. Renel\nBrooks-Moon.\n\n[[Page E1330]]\n\n Her legacy as a broadcaster, community leader, and trailblazer will\ncontinue to inspire, empower, and uplift the community now and for\nfuture generations, making her a true San Francisco Bay Area icon.\n\n ____________________"], ["CREC-2024-12-24-pt1-PgE1330-2", "2024-12-24", 118, 2, null, null, "CONGRATULATING NAYA STAMETS, GIRL SCOUTS GOLD AWARD RECIPIENT", "HOUSE", "EXTENSIONS", "CONGRATULATIONS", "E1330", "E1331", "[{\"name\": \"Teresa Leger Fernandez\", \"role\": \"speaking\"}]", null, "170 Cong.

Naya is an extraordinary leader with a heart as bold and\ninspiring as her mission. It's the only way you get to receive the most\nprestigious award in Girl Scouting, the Gold Award. She earned this\naward by turning her personal battle with Type 1 Diabetes into a\npowerful PSA, raising awareness of the condition one person at a time.\n It is so wonderful to have Naya as my constituent from Farmington,\nNew Mexico. She is one of New Mexico's golden treasures.\n She has been a member of the Girl Scouts of New Mexico Trails, Troop\n10068 for 13 years. She is now a first-year undergraduate student at\nNew Mexico Tech studying Mechanical Engineering and Digital Media--go\nMiners.\n To earn the prestigious Girl Scout Gold Award, high school-age Girl\nScouts must identify and investigate an issue they care about, devise a\nplan, and then lead a team of experts and community members to\nimplement a project that produces lasting change.\n In pursuit of this prestigious award, Naya created a PSA video with\nthe help of medical professionals to educate the community about T1D\nsymptoms, prevention, and management. Naya's PSA titled ``SEE T1D''\nwill have a positive impact on our New Mexico community for years to\ncome.\n Naya was inspired to create this PSA after a life-threatening\nemergency in her childhood, where she learned she had Type 1 Diabetes\n(T1D). As she grew older, she noticed the lack of T1D education in her\ncommunity. At the end of the PSA, Naya included a QR code to a Google\nForm, which asks people if they experience any T1D symptoms and if\nsomeone selects 4 or more then it immediately tells them to contact\ntheir physician.\n As a result of her PSA, she has been able to collect over 50 survey\nresponses and speak with 4 individuals who sought help after seeing her\nvideo and survey. Two people were able to get a diagnosis for early\nonset diabetes after consulting with their doctor and two others\nlearned they had other underlying health issues.\n In addition, Naya was able to present her research and PSA to the\nInternational Order of the Rainbow Girls, where she shared her findings\nwith over 100 people from across the U.S. ranging from Connecticut,\nKansas, Ohio, and California.\n\n[[Page E1331]]\n\n On behalf of the 3rd Congressional District of New Mexico, I\ncongratulate Naya for achieving the highest distinction in Girl Scouts,\nthe Gold Award. We are so proud of her.\n\n ____________________"], ["CREC-2024-12-24-pt1-PgE1330", "2024-12-24", 118, 2, null, null, "TRIBUTE TO KAREN CHAPMAN ON HER RETIREMENT", "HOUSE", "EXTENSIONS", "TRIBUTETO", "E1330", "E1330", "[{\"name\": \"Anna G.

ANNA G. ESHOO\n\n of california\n\n in the house of representatives\n\n Tuesday, December 24, 2024\n\n Ms. ESHOO. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to Karen Chapman,\nmy District Chief of Staff and leader of my exceptional District office\nteam upon her retirement from the federal government.\n Karen grew up in San Mateo County and attended local schools. A\ngraduate of Castilleja in Palo Alto, she went on to receive her BA in\nhistory with a focus on comparative political systems from the\nUniversity of Colorado in Boulder. For her senior thesis she conducted\nresearch at the University of Kent in Canterbury in conjunction with\nCornell University, with the focus of her studies centered on political\npropaganda. While working on various political campaigns, including my\nfirst congressional campaign and later, former Governor Jerry Brown's\ncampaign for State Party Chair, Karen also participated in the\nPractical Politics Master's Program at San Francisco State University.\n During my service on the San Mateo County Board of Supervisors, Karen\nserved as my Executive Assistant and Legislative Aide. At the each\nSupervisor had only two staff members, demanding that Karen had to do\nessentially everything. She also managed my schedule, planned events,\nstaffed commission meetings and conducted casework and field work.\n When I was elected to Congress in l992, Karen joined me in\nWashington, D.C. as a senior staffer and helped set up the best office\non the Hill. She returned to Palo Alto two years later to be my\nDistrict Director.\n Karen brought her superb leadership and diplomatic skills to the\nDistrict Office operations and established the best Congressional\nconstituent services operation in the Nation, an organization known for\ngetting things done right, solving difficult problems and treating each\nconstituent with dignity, respect and kindness. My District operation\nincludes Co-Deputy Chiefs of Staff Anne Ream and Patty Kim, Senior\nField Representatives Nicholas Hargis and Justin Jeong; and\nCommunications Director Katrina Rill, all of whom are seasoned, engaged\nand highly professional.\n There are many examples of Karen's drive and dedication throughout\nthe years. When the CZU fire devastated parts of my District in Santa\nCruz County, Karen led her colleagues in the field, working alongside\nFEMA and our other partners in government. They worked nights and\nweekends along with tremendous help from Brian Perkins of Congresswoman\nSpeier's office, staying in the field during the pandemic until all\nconstituents had opened cases with FEMA and received local, state and\nfederal help. Karen builds bridges between people, organizations and\nagencies, bringing everyone together to find solutions that are\npractical and that reflect my values.\n My Congressional District includes four federal facilities which\nrequire consistent support. Karen carried out this support in this\nongoing work including advocating for USGS and NASA Ames when each was\nthreatened with significant cuts by various Administrations. Karen\nstaffed me, together with her D.C. counterparts on the fight to\npreserve the iconic Hangar One and retain the 129th Rescue Wings both\nlocated at Moffett Federal Airfield.\n Karen has been highly involved in several key projects, including the\nsoon to open National Monument, Cotoni-Coast Dairies near Davenport in\nSanta Cruz County. She also worked with her D.C. counterparts to staff\nme for decades of work in the District to electrify Caltrain. This game\nchanging project was completed this year for the Bay Area and will\nreduce carbon dioxide emissions by 176,000 metric tons annually.\n In true Silicon Valley spirit, our District Office operation has\nalways had an innovative approach toward representing over 740,000\npeople. We were the first District Office to conduct casework using\ndigital signatures as a result of my legislation establishing their\nlegality. This legislation allowed us to conduct casework via the\nInternet, reducing processing times and promoting greater efficiency,\nand saving significant tax dollars. We were the first Congressional\nOffice in the Nation to become a `Green Congressional Office' having\nworked with property owner Premier Properties. The Eshoo office\ninvested in renewal energy resources, with 100 percent of the energy\nused by the Eshoo office derived from renewable resources and the\noffice exceeding established green standards. Our office was the first\nwhere the Member of Congress established a Congressional Student\nAdvisory Board (SAB) for high school students, giving voice to students\nabout the legislative process. Karen and my team made sure the SAB was\nrobust and every year graduated more than 100 students, while providing\nresources and information to ensure their success. Each year SAB became\nmore professional and the staff time devoted to it was a significant\nand worthwhile investment.\n During the entirety of the pandemic, Karen's innovative work\ncontinued as she remained in the office full time, and staffed me while\nI ran the Energy and Commerce Committee's Subcommittee on Health from\nmy home in San Mateo County. Karen adapted quickly in order for us to\nremain resilient and nimble, and through her innovation she increased\nresponsiveness and productivity for committee work, casework and\nfieldwork during the pandemic and beyond in ways that kept my staff\nsafe and healthy while keeping up with the unique challenges of a\npandemic and multiple wildfires.\n Karen Chapman is a public servant's servant. She's humble, loyal,\ngenerous, disciplined, resourceful, and steadfast. Often sought after\nfor her discretion and wise counsel, Karen has also advised campaigns\nand supported local candidates. She cares deeply about making a\ndifference in people's lives and improving their circumstances. She\nstaffed me on some of my most challenging cases including seeing\nsuccess for Carl Clark who had been denied by the Navy for his heroism\ndue to racism during World War II, protecting Dr. Christine Ford's\nidentity before she decided to tell her story in public, and making\nsure my late friend Hank Sciaroni's package was complete to receive the\nBronze Star and Purple Heart for his courageous heroism when his plane\nwas shot down behind enemy lines during World War II.\n Mr. Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me today to honor and thank\nKaren Chapman for her extraordinary dedication and exemplary service on\nbehalf of the people I've represented for over three decades. I'm\nunendingly grateful to her for her sterling leadership, her 32 years of\ndevoted service, and for the gift of her friendship.\n\n ____________________"], ["CREC-2024-12-24-pt1-PgE1331", "2024-12-24", 118, 2, null, null, "TRIBUTE TO NA YOUNG PATTY KIM", "HOUSE", "EXTENSIONS", "TRIBUTETO", "E1331", "E1331", "[{\"name\": \"Anna G.

ANNA G. ESHOO\n\n of california\n\n in the house of representatives\n\n Tuesday, December 24, 2024\n\n Ms. ESHOO. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to an\nextraordinary member of my congressional staff, Na Young Patty Kim, on\nthe occasion of her retirement after serving as a member of my staff\nfor over 26 years.\n Patty was born Na Young Kim in Seoul, South Korea, in 1976 to Chong\nSeung Kim and Young Suk Kim. In 1985, her parents decided to immigrate\nto the United States to pursue the American dream for their young\ndaughters, Na Young and Jee Young. Landing first in San Francisco, they\neventually settled in Newark, California. Na Young became Patty in the\nprocess of learning English and she learned about being a bridge for\nimmigrants like herself while helping her parents navigate the\nunfamiliar system in America.\n Patty graduated from Newark Memorial High School in 1994 and went on\nto study at University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA). Although she\nwas initially interested tn pursuing Business Economics, Patty\ndeveloped a passion for political science and opted to study abroad in\nSouth Korea at Yonsei University to learn about international\nrelations. She also participated in the University of California\nWashington Center (UCDC) program and interned with the Civil Rights\nDivision of the Department of Justice in the special litigation\nsection. These experiences helped her develop her passion for public\nservice and in 1998, Patty graduated with a B.A. in Political Science\nand a specialization in Business Administration from UCLA.\n Following her graduation from UCLA, Patty joined our Palo Alto\nDistrict Office for the 14th Congressional District of California in\nthe heart of Silicon Valley where she began as a Staff Assistant, moved\nto be a Scheduler, then a Caseworker, a Constituent Service Director,\nand now Deputy District Chief of Staff and Senior Counsel. Patty opted\nto work full time while attending Santa Clara University School of Law,\nas a part time student. During this time, she studied abroad at Oxford\nUniversity to obtain a Certificate in International Law and also spent\ntime working for the Federal Public Defender's office in San Jose on a\ncase to help acquit a defendant on death row. After graduating in May\n2005, Patty passed the California Bar exam in November and decided to\nremain in public service as my Counsel. In 2010, she married Steve Yu,\na Marine Veteran and entrepreneur, and they have two beautiful\nchildren; Gloria and Michaela. While raising her two young children,\nshe continued to work tirelessly to serve constituents in a diverse\ndistrict encompassing Silicon Valley.\n Patty is an exceptional professional who truly understands the\nimportant connections between legislative work and constituent\nservices. She works quietly behind the scenes to use her deep knowledge\nof immigration, tax, telecommunications, and high-tech issues to help\nthose in need. Patty has helped thousands of constituents navigate the\nfederal bureaucracy, has led a casework operation second to none, and\nbeen a trusted advisor in times of crisis. Over all the years, Patty\nhas worked effectively with community stakeholders, federal agencies,\nand constituents to get results. Through it all, she has always been\npositive, never losing sight of the fact that we are in the business of\nhope.\n Mr. Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in honoring the work of\nPatty Kim as she begins the next exciting chapter of her life. From the\n105th Congress to the 118th Congress, Patty Kim has proven herself to\nbe a dedicated public servant and leader by working tirelessly to serve\nthe people of the 14th, 18th, and 16th Congressional District through\nfive administrations. Like so many women, Patty has juggled family\ncommitments with work obligations to make this world a better place for\nthe next generation. The American dream that Patty's parents envisioned\nfor their daughters has been realized and exceeded through her\nextraordinary life of service.
