                       TRIBUTE TO SHARON JACKSON

  Mr. SULLIVAN. Mr. President, I would like to say a few words about 
Sharon Jackson, a former member of my staff who recently left to pursue 
another opportunity in public service.
  Sharon was part of the original team in my State offices that I hired 
after being sworn into the Senate in January 2015.
  She served as a constituent relations representative, where her 
compassion and authenticity reassured constituents as she worked to 
resolve their issues with various Federal agencies. Being an Army 
veteran herself, Sharon had a unique gift of connecting with veterans 
and servicemembers while she helped them navigate complex government 
systems. The difference she made in the lives of so many people is 
immeasurable.
  Sharon provided insight into the issues small businesses face in 
Alaska. Her past work with National Write Your Congressman and the 
National Federation of Independent Businesses put her in tune with the 
passions and concerns of Alaska's small businesses.
  She was also a very involved community member in Anchorage and Eagle 
River, contributing her time and energy to a variety of organizations 
with the intention of building a better and brighter future for our 
great State.
  Sharon was a true pleasure to have on the team. She loves Alaska, and 
that always showed in her passionate advocacy on behalf of 
constituents. She loves her family and is a devoted wife and mother.
  We will miss Sharon and the joy she had helping Alaskans. I wish her 
the best in her future endeavors.
