                        RECOGNIZING EMMA JURADO

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. MIKE QUIGLEY

                              of illinois

                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, June 2, 2009

  Mr. QUIGLEY. Madam Speaker, I rise today in recognition of Emma 
Jurado, a member of my staff. Friday, May 29, was Emma's last day as a 
Legislative Aide and Scheduler in our office. Emma served the people of 
the Fifth Congressional District of Illinois with distinction from 
2003-2005, returned in 2007, and deserves our wholehearted appreciation 
for her efforts.
  After graduating from Georgetown University in 2005, Emma went to 
work for my predecessor, Rahm Emanuel, beginning as a Staff Assistant. 
After spending a year working for Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom 
LLP and the National AIDS Marathon Training Program, Emma returned to 
Congressman Emanuel's office in January 2007, working as a Legislative 
Aide and Scheduler.
  In addition to doing superlative work for my predecessor, Emma has 
been an extraordinary asset to my office as we've managed the 
transition process. This process has been a lot of hard work, but that 
is nothing new to Emma. Whether it was handling science and technology, 
art, innovation, or postal issues legislation, assisting the people of 
the Fifth Congressional District during the interim period, or 
establishing my scheduling operation, Emma has always given her all.
  I would like to wish Emma the best of luck working in President 
Obama's Administration. I am confident that she will find success in 
whatever path she chooses, and I thank her for her service to the 
people of Illinois' Fifth Congressional District.

                          ____________________
