                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, October 16, 2018

  Mr. GARAMENDI. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Salina Edwards as a 
woman of the year. She is an unflinchingly energetic and optimistic 
advocate for her community. A reliable source of determination and 
persistence, Ms. Edwards has always made it a priority to better the 
lives of those around her by asking the tough questions and delving 
into the minutia of an issue before determining the best possible 
course for the citizens she serves. After a distinguished fourteen-year 
career with the Glenn County Superior Court, she still had a desire to 
serve and decided to run for office. In addition to her role as 
Councilwoman, her wide range of duties and responsibilities for the 
city include the Waste Management Board, the Glenn County Local Agency 
Formation Commission, the Orland Library Commission, the Glenn County 
Transportation Committee, and the Glenn County Regional Transportation 
Committee. Ms. Edwards is a caring and mindful public servant devoted 
to every aspect of her community, when she isn't focused on fulfilling 
her duties as a Councilwoman, she can be found pitching in for the 
Orland Bee City Committee and the Orland Queen Bee City of North 
America. Her unfailing enthusiasm and dedicated spirit make her a 
highly visible presence in the community, whether volunteering for 
local Kiwanis club events or pitching in at the Orland Food Pantry. Ms. 
Edwards is devoted community servant whose positive impact cannot be 
overstated.
