Recognizing Elizabeth Barrie for Her Service to California's 46th Congressional District

Floor Speech

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mr. CORREA. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the contributions of Elizabeth Barrie to California's 46th Congressional District. Elizabeth started her career on the Hill as an intern in my office during my first year in Congress and, like many congressional staffers before her, takes great pride in being a part of this Chamber and this institution. Members are able to better serve out constituents because of the tireless and invisible work and support that our staffers provide us. For Team Correa, it has been an honor to know and work alongside Elizabeth.

Elizabeth has dedicated herself to her role through countless late nights, through sprints in the Rayburn basement, and through many difficult conversations while advising me.

I've seen staffers come and go on to greener pastures, and I am always so fortunate to cross paths with an individual who still has so much potential. She's an incredibly bright staffer with an even brighter future ahead.

Though we are all sad to lose her, we know that she will bring the same work ethic to her new role as Federal Affairs and National Engagement Manager for the City of Los Angeles, where she'll be able to wear her Dodgers shirt without fear of shame.

I've had the honor of watching Elizabeth grow into her role, and I will still never let her forget that Orange County is the best county in California. I am so proud that Elizabeth will return to her roots and serve the constituents of LA. Elizabeth truly believes in the ideals of public service, and Los Angeles is lucky to have her service.
