                        Monday, December 7, 2020

  Mr. COOK. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor and recognize the 
retirement of Gloria Garcia from the Victorville City Council.
  Mayor Gloria Garcia was born and raised in Victorville, CA. Gloria 
attended Victor Valley Sr. High School, Victor Valley College, and 
Skadron College of Business. She was elected to the Victorville City 
Council in November 2012 and was appointed Mayor by her fellow Council 
Members in December 2014. She was reelected in 2016, and continuously 
reappointed as Mayor by her colleagues on the council. Gloria's time on 
the council has been marked by many successes in Victorville. Her focus 
on public safety, new infrastructure, road maintenance has led to great 
improvements and safer neighborhoods in Victorville.
  Mayor Garcia has served the council with honor and integrity, and her 
commitment to good government and transparency has served the citizens 
of Victorville well. Although her second term has seen Victorville and 
its Council experience discord and disruption, Gloria has remained 
steadfast and focused on working for the people of Victorville. I will 
truly miss Gloria's face on the council dais, and I wish much happiness 
and success in her future.
