 RECOGNIZING JANICE FULLER'S TEN YEARS OF SERVICE TO THE PEOPLE OF THE 
                      SIXTH CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT

                                 ______
                                 

                        HON. FRANK PALLONE, JR.

                             of new jersey

                    in the house of representatives

                         Monday, March 18, 2019

  Mr. PALLONE. Madam Speaker, I rise to pay tribute to Janice Fuller, 
who has served as one of my most trusted advisors for the last decade 
in her roles as District Director and then Chief of Staff. Janice is 
leaving my office after 10 years of distinguished service.
  For 10 years now, my constituents in New Jersey's Sixth Congressional 
District have had a fierce advocate in Janice. She has a passion for 
constituent services and has always been a champion for the district's 
municipalities, counties, organizations and businesses as they explore 
funding or partnerships from federal agencies.
  Janice's commitment to and advocacy for the people of my 
Congressional District was never more on display than in the days, 
weeks, months and years following Superstorm Sandy, which devastated my 
district. She was relentless in her efforts to ensure the federal 
government provided the assistance needed to New Jerseyans impacted by 
Sandy. Janice fought for increased temporary housing for those who lost 
their homes, worked to secure funding for critical flood control 
projects and highlighted flood insurance fraud that was perpetrated 
against homeowners. Her determination to improve the response and 
recovery process from this historic storm had an impact on countless 
people throughout New Jersey.
  Over the last four years, Janice has served as my Chief of Staff, 
leading my legislative, communications and constituent relations staff.
  Prior to joining my staff in 2009, Janice served the people of New 
Jersey in the offices of two governors. First, she served in the 
McGreevey Administration in 2001 and 2002 as an Assistant to the Deputy 
Chief of Staff, and from 2006 through 2009 she was the Director of 
Cabinet Affairs in the Corzine Administration.
  Janice is also well respected throughout New Jersey as one of the 
state's top political minds. From 2003 through 2006, she was the 
Executive Director of the New Jersey Democratic State Committee. In 
this position, she ran the day-to-day operations of the state political 
party--this is no easy task.
  Throughout her entire career, Janice has been a fierce advocate for 
the people of New Jersey. And that advocacy spills over into her free 
time--if that time even exists for Janice. Not only has she served as a 
Board Member on the Covenant House New Jersey-Asbury Park Program and 
the New Jersey Equal Opportunity Fund, she recently won an election to 
serve on the Ocean Township School Board.
  It goes without saying that public service runs in Janice's blood. 
She may be leaving my office, but I have no doubt that she will 
continue to find ways to serve the people of New Jersey throughout the 
remainder of her career.
  Over the last ten years, Janice has spent a lot of late nights 
representing me and my constituents at meetings or events throughout 
the district. I want to acknowledge the support Janice always received 
from her husband, John, and her three children, Grace, Finn and Sloane.
  Madam Speaker, the American people, New Jerseyans and the people of 
the Sixth Congressional District have been well served by Janice Fuller 
for the last 20 years. I wish her nothing but the best in her future 
endeavors and look forward to watching all the ways she looks to serve 
the public good.
