RITCHIE TORRES of new york in the house of representatives Monday, February 23, 2026 Mr. TORRES of New York. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Simone A. Jones, a public servant whose leadership exemplifies excellence, equity, and results. Simone has been appointed Deputy Chief of Staff and Chief Equity Officer to New York City Council Speaker Julie Menin-- an appointment that reflects both her extraordinary talent and her unwavering commitment to good governance. For years, Simone has been a driving force in the Bronx and across New York City. As Chief of Staff to Council Member Kevin C. Riley, she helped architect policies that empowered communities, strengthened City Council operations, and delivered meaningful change. Her leadership style is rooted in elevating people--building teams, forging partnerships, and turning vision into action. From her work alongside Speaker Carl Heastie to her leadership in organizations advancing Black women in politics, she has opened doors for others while holding herself to the highest standard of service. A mentor, a strategist, a community leader and a devoted mother, Simone Jones represents the very best of public service. New York City is stronger because of her leadership, and I look forward to seeing her continued success. ____________________
