KEN CALVERT of california in the house of representatives Tuesday, February 24, 2026 Mr. CALVERT. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor and commend Rebecca Delgadillo Evans, a remarkable public servant whose distinguished career reflects the highest standards of professionalism, integrity, and dedication to the administration of justice in the United States. For more than sixteen years, Rebecca Evans served with distinction at the United States Attorney's Office in Riverside, California, where she became a cornerstone of the office's daily operations and long-term success. Her work as a Senior Legal Assistant and Grand Jury Coordinator exemplifies quiet excellence--service rendered not for recognition, but for the betterment of our institutions and the communities they serve. Throughout her career, Rebecca earned the trust and respect of Assistant United States Attorneys, judges, law enforcement partners, and colleagues alike. She was known for her precision, discretion, and unwavering commitment to accuracy in the most demanding and high-stakes federal litigation matters. Her expertise in federal court filings, sealed pleadings, trial preparation, and discovery management ensured that justice was not only pursued, but pursued correctly. Rebecca's role as Grand Jury Coordinator was especially vital. She oversaw all grand jury proceedings with professionalism and calm authority, maintaining complex schedules, coordinating witnesses and jurors, and ensuring that each proceeding was conducted efficiently and lawfully. Her ability to manage sensitive information with care and integrity made her indispensable to the administration of justice in the Central District of California. Beyond her technical expertise, Rebecca was a leader. She mentored newly hired legal assistants, filled supervisory roles when needed, and consistently stepped forward to ensure continuity of operations during times of transition. Her steady presence brought confidence to those around her and stability to an office charged with weighty responsibility. What sets Rebecca apart is not only what she did, but how she did it--with grace, humility, and a genuine commitment to public service. She understood that the work of the U.S. Attorney's Office is not merely procedural, but foundational to the rule of law and the protection of our democratic Institutions. Her career is a testament to the often-unseen professionals whose diligence ensures that our justice system functions honorably and effectively. Outside of her professional duties, Rebecca has remained deeply committed to her community, volunteering with the City of Corona and exemplifying the spirit of service that has defined her life's work. She is a proud graduate of Eastern Michigan University, where she laid the academic foundation for a career marked by excellence and purpose. Mr. Speaker, it has been my privilege to know Rebecca Evans not only as a public servant, but as a person of character, kindness, and unwavering dedication. Her legacy is one of service well rendered and standards faithfully upheld. As she concludes this chapter of her professional journey, our community, our courts, and our country are better because of her contributions. I ask my colleagues to join me in recognizing and thanking Rebecca Delgadillo Evans for her extraordinary service to the United States and to the cause of justice. ____________________ |
