                    in the house of representatives

                        Friday, October 12, 2018

  Ms. NORTON. Mr. Speaker, I ask the House to join me in recognizing 
Tristan Re Shar Breaux, who has served as my District Director for the 
last four years. During this time, Tristan has proven himself to be a 
committed and valuable member of my staff. He was dedicated to the work 
that our office provides to our more than 700,000 residents. On 
September 30th, Tristan departed my office to serve as the new Director 
of Policy for the National Housing Conference. Tristan's passion for 
economic development, affordable housing, and fair investment in our 
low-income communities will be an asset to the organization and the 
country. His work ethic, humor, intelligence and compassion will surely 
be missed by his colleagues, the residents of the District of Columbia 
and especially my office.
  Tristan, a native of Queens, New York, adopted D.C. upon his arrival. 
After serving the House Budget Committee; the United States Senate; 
various local, state and federal elected officials in Virginia, Tristan 
first joined my office as my Events Coordinator and led the development 
of my Black Men & Boys Commission & Caucus. His persistence to get the 
job done and his gracious demeanor made Tristan a pleasure to be around 
and work with.
  Tristan's presence in my office and in the city will surely be missed 
and I wish him all the best in his future endeavors.
  I ask my colleagues to join me in recognizing Tristan R. Breaux for 
his outstanding service to the House of Representatives, my office and 
to the District of Columbia.
