                     Wednesday, September 16, 2015

  Mr. VALADAO. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to thank Tal Jimy Eslick for 
his service to my office and the 21st Congressional District of 
California over the past three years.
  Mr. Eslick was born in Spokane, Washington to parents Tal and Candice 
Eslick. After moving to Clovis, California as a child and attending 
Buchanan High School, Mr. Eslick went on to receive his Bachelor of 
Arts from California State University, Fresno in 2006. While attending 
Fresno State, he developed an interest in politics and began 
volunteering on local campaigns. He also spent a summer in Washington, 
D.C. as a Congressional intern. After earning his Bachelor's Degree, 
Mr. Eslick began working for Congressman Devin Nunes as a Field 
Representative and, later, as District Director.
  In April of 2012, Mr. Eslick adopted a six-year old cat named Mason. 
On May 25, 2013, Mr. Eslick married Rachel Azevedo. They currently 
reside in Clovis, California.
  Mr. Eslick has been a member of my team since 2010, first as my Chief 
of Staff in the California State Assembly and now as my Chief of Staff 
in the United States House of Representatives. He brought a wealth of 
legislative experience and professionalism to my team and has been a 
very dependable and resourceful advisor and friend. Throughout his 
career, Mr. Eslick has been an invaluable asset to Team Valadao and the 
people of the Central Valley.
  In February 2015, Mr. Eslick returned to Fresno State in pursuit of a 
Master's in Business Administration for Executives.
  On September 27, 2015, Mr. Eslick's time in my office will come to an 
end. Mr. Eslick will be moving on to a new chapter of his life. While I 
know he is very excited about this opportunity, he will be greatly 
missed as a member of my team.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask my colleagues in the United States House of 
Representatives to join me in commending Tal Eslick for his public 
service to the people of the Central Valley and wishing him well in 
this next chapter of his life.
