                       Monday, November 29, 2010

  Mr. ISSA. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize the honorable 
civil service of Cathy Glaser and commend her tremendous career of 
thirty six years with the San Diego County Registrar of Voters Office.
  Joining the team at San Diego County in 1976 with the District 
Attorney's office, Family Support Division, Ms. Glaser began her 
historic tenure with the County that has made an impression on 
countless San Diegans.
  Transferring to the Registrar of Voters Office as a Senior Clerk in 
1977, Ms. Glaser was soon promoted to Candidate Filing. She filled an 
invaluable role by assisting candidates in all their filing aspects.
  Starting with San Diego County at the age of 22, and now ending at 
the helm of Campaign Services, Ms. Glaser has worked for 8 Registrars' 
of Voters. She has seen 9 election cycles of Presidents, Governors, 
U.S. Senators, State Senators, State Assembly, County Supervisors, 
Mayors, City Councilmembers, Community College Boards and School Boards 
to name a few. She has supervised the ballot preparation for all of the 
candidates for these offices as well as state, county and local 
propositions and measures.
  Ms. Glaser has seen the transformation from the time of less than 
5,000 Absentee Voters, voting on ``paper''; and when results were 
delivered on election night. She has since been at the forefront of 
change with now more than 700,000 Vote by Mail Voters.
  Under Ms. Glaser's guidance and expertise, San Diego County has won 
several awards for streamlining the election process. She also created 
the prominent ``Candidate's Guide'' which has become the ``go to'' 
guide for candidates, consultants, treasurers and campaign managers. 
Her work is often used as a model for other counties across the nation.
  It is an honor to recognize her three and a half decades of 
dedicated, professional public service. I offer Ms. Glaser my 
congratulations on her achievements.
  Madam Speaker, I ask you to please join me in paying tribute to Ms. 
Glaser's loyal service to the San Diego County Registrar of Voters on 
the occasion of her retirement.
