                    THANKING COLE JONATHAN ROJEWSKI

                                 ______
                                 

                         HON. DAVID G. VALADAO

                             of california

                    in the house of representatives

                      Wednesday, December 19, 2018

  Mr. VALADAO. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to thank Cole Jonathan 
Rojewski for his near decade of service to the Central Valley 
Congressional Delegation, and particularly, for his work in various 
roles over the last six years for California's Twenty First 
Congressional District.
  Mr. Rojewski was born in Clovis, California to parents Cynthia and AI 
Rojewski. Cole enjoyed growing up in Clovis countryside with his 
sister, Dena, and the family's many animals. From an early age, Mr. 
Rojewski had a love for animals and being outside. As a child and young 
adult, Cole was an active member of Future Farmers of America (FFA), 
something he continues to participate in today as a mentor to young FFA 
members. Cole attended Clovis High School and Clovis East High School, 
where he was a member of the school's men's golf team and graduated in 
2006. Following his graduation from High School, Mr. Rojewski attended 
California State University, Fresno, where he graduated in 2011, 
receiving a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Political Science.
  It was while attending CSU Fresno that Cole found an interest in 
politics. Beginning in 2010, Cole worked for Congressman Devin G. Nunes 
as a Field Representative in his Clovis District Office. Mr. Rojewski 
continued to work for Mr. Nunes throughout his time in college, and 
also had an active role on campus as Vice Chair of the Central Valley 
Region of the California College Republicans.
  In 2012, Mr. Rojewski played a vital role in my first campaign for 
Congress. Following my election that November, Mr. Rojewski joined my 
team in Washington D.C. Throughout the last six years in my office, Mr. 
Rojewski has played a vital role in our success representing the 
Central Valley, having served as my Office Manager, Campaign Manager, 
Deputy Chief of Staff, and most recently as my Chief of Staff from 2015 
to the end of 115th Congress.
  Cole's natural leadership abilities, supreme work ethic, and keen 
political instincts have made him a truly invaluable member of my team, 
and an excellent public servant elevating the needs of the people of 
the California's Central Valley throughout the halls of Congress and 
our nation's Capitol.
  Following the 115th Congress, Cole's time in my office will come to 
an end, but I look forward to seeing what the future has in store for 
him. I have no doubt he will continue his great work in politics and 
will have many great achievements in the future.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask my colleagues in the United States House of 
Representatives to join me in commending Cole Rojewski for his public 
service to the people of the Central Valley and wishing him the very 
best in this next chapter of his life.
