                     in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, October 5, 2017

   Mr. DENHAM. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and honor the 
commitment and dedication of my Senior Field Representative, Dana 
Ferreira. Dana served 15 years as an essential member of my team.
   Dana graduated from Hartnell College in 1989 with her Associate of 
Arts in General Studies. After graduating, she became a licensed 
Insurance Agent for Marini Insurance Agency. Six years later, she 
joined my team while I worked for the California State Senate. In 2010, 
I was elected to the U.S. House of Representatives and she stayed by my 
side as District Scheduler and later as a Senior Field Representative. 
Dana has been an integral member of my staff and instrumental in the 
successes of my district office.
   Dana has established solid and lasting relationships in California's 
10th District as a pillar in our community. From Mayors to community 
leaders, she has entered the lives of many through her professionalism 
and personality. Since 2003, Dana has been profoundly involved in the 
Rotary Club, beginning in Salinas and then in Modesto. She selflessly 
volunteers her time for many organizations and causes and has been 
recognized for many worthy achievements and accomplishments.
   One of Dana's many preferred pastimes is attending concerts; she 
especially likes seeing her favorite band, Tesla. On Saturdays, you can 
catch Dana cheering on the Oklahoma Sooners football team with her two 
cats, Milo and Luca.
   Mr. Speaker, please join me in honoring and commending my good 
friend, Dana Ferreira, for her many years of service, devotion, and 
outstanding contributions to our community.

We wish her continued success in her future endeavors.
