                            of pennsylvania

                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, May 14, 2019

  Mr. BRENDAN F. BOYLE of Pennsylvania. Madam Speaker, I rise today 
with bittersweet sentiment and thanks to my Legislative Director, 
Helena Schwarz.
  Helena has spent her career focusing on public service. Working in 
the Maryland Legislature, and eventually here in the U.S. House of 
Representatives, she has always found ways to support policies and 
people she believes in.
  Helena joined my office more than four years ago after serving in the 
office of my colleague, Congressman Sarbanes from Maryland. During her 
tenure on ``Team Boyle'' she has been a steady hand that provided 
guidance to the legislative team and substantive policy advice to me. 
She is thorough, dedicated, and always willing to advocate for policies 
in which she believes.
  A Michigan native, Helena quickly adapted to the City of Brotherly 
Love. In her time here, she's worked tirelessly to elevate the voices 
of blue-collar workers and the shrinking middle class, and to ensure 
that all Americans have a fair shot at achieving the American Dream. 
The people we serve in my district have greatly benefited from her 
service to this institution.
  Helena will still be part of the important policy debates we have 
ahead of us, as she leaves to lead an advocacy effort focused on 
America's infrastructure agenda.
  I wish her the best of luck on this venture, and I look forward to 
seeing her package on the House floor in the future.
