                  HONORING THE CAREER OF ALEX DELGADO

                                 ______
                                 

                             HON. JIM COSTA

                             of california

                    in the house of representatives

                         Friday, June 26, 2020

  Mr. COSTA. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize my dear friend, 
Ms. Alex Delgado, on the occasion of her retirement from television 
news after 22 years at Fresno County's news station KSEE24. Alex has 
been a staple in homes across the Central Valley and will be greatly 
missed.
  Alex was born in Mexico City, Mexico and lived in Chicago and Texas, 
before relocating to the Central Valley. Her journalism career at KSEE 
24 began in 1998. Alex has dedicated her career to ensuring the Central 
Valley's residents are informed and their stories are told. In 2004, 
she launched a 4 o'clock news segment, as solo anchor and continued to 
contribute to late-night newscasts. Three years later, Alex started the 
Valley's first live community lifestyle program, Central Valley Today. 
In 2019, Alex returned to the news desk as the anchor for KSEE24's 
morning program, Sunrise.
  Along with her award-winning journalism career, Alex has found time 
to give back to her community. Alex has helped host the Central Valley 
Veterans Day Parade for many years and served on the local board of the 
American Red Cross. Her many awards include being named Business 
Street's Top 40 Under 40, a Top 100 Most Influential Women, and an EMMY 
Award for her work.
  For 26 years, Alex has put her time and energy into bettering the 
community. She is a mother to two, cares for her family, and still has 
time to help those in need in the community.
  Madam Speaker, it is with great respect that I ask my colleagues in 
the U.S. House of Representatives to join me in congratulating Alex 
Delgado on her career as an award-winning journalist. I ask that you 
join me in wishing Alex and her family continued success, health and 
happiness in this new chapter of her life.
