                         HON. DAVID SCHWEIKERT

  Mr. SCHWEIKERT. Madam Speaker, I rise today to commemorate Ernestina 
Borquez-Smith on her birthday, September 6th. Ernestina has devoted the 
past 29 years of her life and career to the people of Arizona.
  She began her career as a staffer managing casework for 
Representative Bob Stump of Arizona in 1990, and went on to work for 
both Democratic and Republican Representatives as the Director of 
Constituent Services. She is

a prime example of a public servant that wants to serve, regardless of 
party politics, but strives to make a positive impact in the lives of 
her fellow citizens. I have known Ernestina since 2011 when I was first 
elected to Congress, and she has proved to be an exemplary member of my 
team.
  Congress is an institution devoted to serving the people, and 
Ernestina has exemplified this every day by meeting with veterans, 
immigrants, and Arizonans of all walks of life, committed to being both 
a voice and a resource for the people. We look to Ernestina as a 
devoted public servant, and it has been an honor to know her.
