  Mr. GARAMENDI. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Jesse Loren as a 
woman of the year. She is an enthusiastic, valued, and beloved member 
of the Winters community who exemplifies the qualities of a true public 
servant. Ms. Loren began her teaching career as an English and 
Journalism teacher in the Esparto and Travis School Districts where she 
served in leadership roles on the School Site Council at Vanden High 
School. In recognition of her exceptional skills as an educator, Ms. 
Loren was honored with Vanden High School's 2009 Teacher of the Year 
award. Ms. Loren is a member of a wide range of organizations and 
foundations including the Winters Hispanic Advisory Committee, the 
League of California Cities, the Water Resources Association, the Yolo 
Solano Sustainable Groundwater Agency, and Yolo Leaders. Furthermore, 
in 2016 she was elected to the Winters City Council where she dove into 
the issues of concern to Winters residents, swiftly learning the nuts 
and bolts of how the city functioned. Always deft at building 
community, Ms. Loren's efforts on the City Council have strengthened 
the cohesion and collegiality of the Winters community. As a strong 
advocate for effective water management and quality public education, 
Ms. Loren consistently demonstrates a keen interest in understanding 
every aspect of an issue. Her generosity with her time and energy is 
truly remarkable, enabling her to serve her constituents and community 
members with unusual insight and empathy. Ms. Loren is a skilled public 
servant whose devotion to the community she serves is worthy of 
recognition.
