                            HON. JEB BRADLEY

                            of new hampshire

                    in the house of representatives

                         Wednesday, May 4, 2005

  Mr. BRADLEY of New Hampshire. Mr. Speaker, I rise to pay tribute to 
Marti Jones upon being named a finalist for the 2005 Congressman John 
Joseph Moakley Award for Exemplary Public Service.
  Initiated in 2002, the Moakley Award is given to a staff member of 
the New England Congressional delegation who demonstrates strong 
innovative methods of thinking and effectively works on behalf of their 
constituents.
  Marti has worked in New Hampshire politics for over 20 years. Before 
joining my office in 2003, Marti worked for U.S. Senator Bob Smith (R-
NH) for 18 years, starting when he was a member of the U.S. House of 
Representatives, and later, the U.S. Senate. Before working for Senator 
Smith, Marti served as Assistant to the Mayor for Manchester Mayor Bob 
Shaw.
  Marti's commitment to the citizens of the Granite State extends far 
beyond the walls of our Manchester district office. Marti has been 
involved in Granite State Ambassadors, the Board of Directors for the 
Photographic Historical Society of New England, a past President of the 
Board of Directors for the New Hampshire Junior Miss Scholarship 
Program and a past member of the New Hampshire Commission on the Status 
of Women.
  I would also like to take a moment to thank the Greater Boston 
Federal Executive Board and the Moakley Family for recognizing Marti's 
accomplishments and those of the other finalists. I congratulate and 
thank Marti on her years of hard work and dedication to New Hampshire.
