                           HON. JARED HUFFMAN

                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, May 20, 2014

  Mr. HUFFMAN. Mr. Speaker, it is my pleasure to recognize Ruth 
Valenzuela, who has served as field representative for California State 
Assemblymember Patty Berg from 2005 to 2008 and Wesley Chesbro for six 
years thereafter as she is being honored for her civic engagement on 
May 8 and May 15 in Mendocino County--from the coast to the inland 
valleys.
   Ruth's commitment to improving the quality of life for the residents 
of Mendocino County and California's Second Assembly District serves a 
model for public servants. Well-respected and appreciated for her 
ability to assist constituents with local and state matters in a calm 
and efficient manner, she has served the community with intelligence, 
patience and the highest caliber of professionalism with a variety of 
vexing issues.
   Acting as California State Assemblymember Wesley Chesbro's eyes and 
ears in Mendocino County, as a volunteer for the Area Council on Aging 
and many other community organizations, Ruth is a trusted public 
resource and an indispensable asset to Mendocino.
   Please join me in expressing deep appreciation to Ruth Valenzuela 
for her invaluable service to Mendocino County and the people of 
California.

                          ____________________
