        TRIBUTE TO JOHANNA MAURICE OF THE CHARLESTON DAILY MAIL

                                 ______
                                 

                       HON. SHELLEY MOORE CAPITO

                            of west virginia

                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, June 27, 2013

  Mrs. CAPITO. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Johanna Maurice, 
a resident of Charleston, West Virginia. I wish to congratulate Maurice 
on her retirement, and the contributions she has made to editorial 
journalism during her outstanding career.
   Johanna Maurice has served as Editorial Page Editor of the 
Charleston Daily Mail, a Pulitzer-winning newspaper, since 1986. During 
that time period, Maurice has contributed greatly to the political 
discussion throughout the state of West Virginia. We have all benefited 
from her ability to foster meaningful and respectful discussions. She 
has also served as a strong voice for fiscal conservancy and business 
economic growth.
   A proud Mountaineer, Maurice graduated from the West Virginia 
University with a degree in journalism. Before joining the Daily Mail 
in 1978, she worked as a reporter with the Beckley Register-Herald. Her 
remarkable tenure as opinion editor underscores the value of having an 
informed and challenging discussion in the public forum.
   Mr. Speaker, I ask our colleagues to join me in recognizing Johanna 
Maurice for her contributions and service to the people of the Mountain 
State.
