  Ms. BROWNLEY. Mr. Speaker, Today, I rise to recognize Lori 
DeMersseman, who will be honored by the Los Angeles Democratic Party as 
a 2013 Eleanor and Franklin Roosevelt Democrat of the Year.
  Lori is a political leader whose tireless efforts can be seen in her 
important contribution to our community. As a founder and the current 
President of the Democratic Singles of Ventura County, Lori created an 
organization for like-minded individuals who are passionate about the 
economic, social and environmental issues facing our nation. The DSVC 
is a welcoming club for individuals to volunteer and socialize with 
other Democrats while participating in the political process.
  Lori has always been engaged in improving our community. She is a 
committed advocate for equality and has long supported the priorities 
of the Democratic Party.
  For being an exemplary grassroots activist who is consistently 
helping Democratic candidates and important statewide propositions, I 
extend my sincere congratulations and join the Los Angeles Democratic 
Party in honoring Lori DeMersseman.
