                      RECOGNIZING MRS. ANN DRAWDY

                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. DANIEL WEBSTER

                               of florida

                    in the house of representatives

                      Wednesday, December 7, 2016

  Mr. WEBSTER of Florida. Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to recognize Mrs. 
Ann Drawdy on her tremendous service to the people of Florida. This 
month, Mrs. Drawdy will retire after serving more than a quarter 
century as a constituent service representative. It gives me great 
pleasure to recognize her service to Floridians and the Central Florida 
community.
   The lives of hundreds of citizens have been changed for the better 
thanks to Ann's knowledge and persistence in providing assistance with 
issues involving state and federal agencies. During her six years of 
service to the constituents in Florida Congressional Districts eight 
and ten, Ann assisted and closed over 200 constituent cases. Countless 
other constituent cases at the state level were the beneficiaries of 
her assistance during her time of service in the Florida Senate to 
Senators Dick Langley, Carey Baker and myself.
   From asking for information or a status report on a pending case, or 
requesting clarification, to serving as a direct point of contact to 
liaisons in federal agencies, Ann was instrumental in our office 
successfully intervening on a person's behalf to answer questions, find 
solutions, or simply attempt to cut through the red tape.
   It was a personal honor to have Ann Drawdy on my team serving 
Central Floridians. Her attitude of service and dedication to quietly 
assisting Floridians navigate state and federal agencies are a 
testimony to her kindness and humility. Ann's character, life, and 
efforts will surely inspire others to follow her example of serving.
   I am truly grateful for Ann's faithful service to our state and her 
dedication to finding solutions on behalf of Floridians. Our community, 
our state and our country are better due to her service.
