                          HON. ADAM B. SCHIFF

                    in the house of representatives

                         Friday, April 14, 2017

  Mr. SCHIFF. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in honor of Women's History 
Month. Each year, we pay special tribute to the contributions and 
sacrifices made by our nation's women. It is an honor to pay homage to 
outstanding women who are making a difference in my congressional 
district. I would like to recognize a remarkable woman, Holly Hampton 
of Echo Park, a unique neighborhood in Los Angeles, California.
   Holly Hampton has been a resident of Echo Park for many years, 
calling this historic neighborhood and community home since 1989. Ms. 
Hampton currently serves as Vice President of the Echo Park Historical 
Society's Board of Directors, which preserves and promotes the 
neighborhood's architectural and cultural heritage. Holly also serves 
as Chair of the Historic Echo Park Home Tours.
   Ms. Hampton, a professional graphic designer, has been recognized 
for her involvement in numerous community design projects. Most 
notably, she participated as a judge for the Echo Park Community 
Parade's children's art contest for the past six years, and has 
designed installations for the Echo Park Historical Society. She 
received recognition from the City of Los Angeles at the Echo Park 
Farmers' Market's 10 year anniversary for her work with Katrina Alexy, 
an artist, on the creation of the market logo.
   In 2001, Ms. Hampton purchased a home in Echo Park, and became 
active in the development of her local neighborhood watch, which 
included neighbors on Grafton Street, Lemoyne Street, Effie Street, 
Lake Shore Avenue and Lobdell Place. She also began partnering with the 
Los Angeles City Council 13th District Office to organize staircase 
street clean-up events in an effort to help maintain the public 
staircase located on her street.
   I ask all Members to join me in honoring an exceptional woman of 
California's 28th Congressional District, Holly Hampton.
