                           HON. JARED HUFFMAN

                       Tuesday, January 13, 2015

  Mr. HUFFMAN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Carolyn 
Crnich, longtime recorder and registrar of voters for Humboldt County, 
on her retirement.
   Carolyn's service to Humboldt County and the regional community has 
been exemplary. A fifth generation Humboldt County native, she began 
her work with the county in 1976 as a drafting supervisor in the 
Humboldt County Auditor's Office. Carolyn served as county recorder 
beginning in 1990. Carolyn was reelected and served unopposed in 1994, 
1998, 2002, 2006 and 2010, as the recorder, county clerk and registrar 
of voters offices were merged.
   Carolyn was certified as a California Registered Elections Official 
by The Election Center in Houston, Texas, and by the California 
Association of Clerks and Election Officials. Her work was also 
recognized by the American Association of University Women, which named 
her Women's History Month honoree in 2009. Carolyn was a key founding 
member of the Humboldt Election Transparency Project, which has been 
recognized by the National Association of Secretaries of State, the 
Lori Grace Foundation for Election Integrity, the Election Verification 
Network, and the American Civil Liberties Union.
   Mr. Speaker, Carolyn Crnich's commitment to county government and 
the vital role of elections in the community is commendable and worthy 
of recognition. I urge my colleagues to join me in extending our 
congratulations to her.
