                          A RECORD OF SERVICE

                    in the house of representatives

                       Wednesday, March 12, 2014

  Mr. PETERS of California. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and 
applaud Todd Gloria on his excellent service as San Diego's Interim 
Mayor.
  When Todd stepped in as Interim Mayor, San Diegans needed a leader 
more than ever. Even during his short tenure, Todd was able to 
reenergize San Diego's government. He continued his work from his 
position on the City Council, building the manufacturing and technology 
sectors, creating more jobs for San Diegans. He also continued 
developing an innovative solution for San Diego's backlog of 
infrastructure projects. A true public servant, he has worked 
diligently at forward-thinking strategies to maintain San Diego as one 
of America's finest cities.
  In addition to his service as Interim Mayor, Todd has served as City 
Council President since 2013. We share many priorities: ensuring the 
livelihood of the middle class, protecting our environment in ways that 
actually address climate change, and keeping infrastructure in San 
Diego up-to-date and functional. I admire Todd for his commitment to 
practical solutions and for his ability to get things done.
  It came as no surprise in 2013 when he was recognized by the Aspen 
Institute as one of the nation's most promising young political 
leaders, a fellowship bestowed on him because of his commitment to 
sensible and bipartisan governance. I eagerly look forward to Todd's 
continuing service leading the City Council, and expect him to continue 
doing great things for San Diego.
  Mr. Speaker, I am proud to honor Todd Gloria for his hard work for 
the City of San Diego. I urge my colleagues to join me in recognizing 
Todd for his excellent service as San Diego Interim Mayor.
