  Mr. SCHIFF. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor Ms. Margarita 
Campos, of Burbank, California. Each year in March, in recognition of 
Women's History Month, we pay special tribute to the contributions and 
sacrifices made by our Nation's women.
  Born to Cuban parents, Margarita has been a resident of Burbank, 
California for over forty years. Margarita received her Associate of 
Arts degree in Liberal Arts from Los Angeles Mission College and earned 
her Bachelor of Arts Degree in Business Law from the University of West 
Los Angeles.
  Since 2001, Margarita has been the elected Burbank City Clerk and is 
responsible for maintaining all official city records including: 
keeping a complete and accurate record of all City Council, 
Redevelopment Agency, and related proceedings, maintaining the Burbank 
City Charter and Municipal Code, and conducting all municipal 
elections. Prior to her term as City Clerk, Margarita served as the 
City of Burbank Community Assistance Coordinator and the Secretary to 
the Mayor.
  Margarita is involved with various professional organizations. She is 
a member of the International Institute of Municipal Clerks, the 
Association of Records Managers, and the City Clerks Association of 
California.
  In her spare time, Margarita dedicates herself to volunteering with 
organizations that directly benefit the Burbank community. She is a 
member of the League of Women Voters, a nonpartisan political 
organization that advocates for the improvement of government systems 
and aspires to impact public policies through citizen education and 
advocacy. Margarita served as the First Vice-President for the Zonta 
Club of the Burbank Area, a world-wide organization comprised of a 
diverse membership working together to advance the

global status of women through service and advocacy.
  Margarita enjoys spending time with her family. She is a loving wife 
to husband Vince and proud mother to two children, Natasha and Vince.
  Ms. Campos' devotion to her career and her long-time commitment to 
the prosperity of our community serves as a true inspiration to us all. 
I ask all Members of Congress to join me today in honoring an 
extraordinary woman of California's 29th Congressional District.
