California (Mr. Carbajal) for 5 minutes.
  Mr. CARBAJAL. Mr. Speaker, today, I rise to celebrate the prodigious 
24-year public service career of supervisor Janet Wolf, and a good 
friend, in Santa Barbara County of my district.
  A southern California native, Janet Wolf earned her bachelor of arts 
degree from the University of California, Santa Barbara, my alma mater 
as well. She then went on to the University of California, Los Angeles, 
to earn her master's degree and teaching credential.
  In 1983, Janet began working in the field of vocational 
rehabilitation. In 1987, she opened her own business, with offices both 
in Santa Barbara and Santa Maria, California. She continued her work 
and leadership in that field for over 20 years.
  Janet Wolf began her service as an elected official in 1993, when she 
was first elected to the Goleta School Board, where she served three 
terms, equaling 12 years. She went on to be elected to the Santa 
Barbara County Board of Supervisors, where she also served three terms.
  During her tenure, her accomplishments were numerous, including 
initiating the Eastern Goleta Valley Planning Advisory Committee, 
steering completion of the Eastern Goleta Valley Community Plan, 
expanding library funding, and advocating for the construction of a 
state-of-the-art emergency operations center.

  Mr. Speaker, I am honored to join my former colleagues in Santa 
Barbara County in celebrating the exemplary 24-year career of my former 
colleague, supervisor Janet Wolf, in her public service. Her leadership 
and commitment to her constituents has been both exceptional and 
unprecedented. I congratulate and wish Janet and her family the best in 
her well-deserved retirement and all future endeavors.
