                         EULICE BRANDON GARRETT

  (Ms. KELLY of Illinois asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute.)
  Ms. KELLY of Illinois. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Eulice 
Brandon Garrett, who, after nearly 3 years of serving the Windy City 
and Illinois' Second Congressional District as my chief of staff, is 
leaving for the sunny skies of L.A.
  BG, as he is affectionately known, is exactly the type of servant 
leader this country deserves.
  Brandon began his career in 2006 as a policy adviser to Congressman 
Bill Jefferson of Louisiana. Later he served as legislative director to 
Congresswoman Marcia Fudge of Ohio and policy director of the 
Congressional Black Caucus.
  After a brief stint as policy director to Vice President Joe Biden's 
2012 reelection campaign, I was lucky to have Brandon take a gamble on 
me and agree to serve as my chief of staff. For nearly 3 years, he has 
worked tirelessly for the residents of the Second Congressional 
District.
  BG, you are truly one of a kind, from your very unique fashion to 
your quick smile and your cool demeanor and ability to make everyone 
you meet feel like they are your best friend. It was my honor and 
privilege to call you my chief.
  On behalf of the families of the Second Congressional District and 
this Congress, thank you.
