                      Wednesday, December 16, 2020

  Mr. CALVERT. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor and pay tribute to 
my good friend Jason Scott, who will be stepping down from the Corona 
City Council this month after serving the city for twelve years. Jason 
is the embodiment of a public servant, who has made an invaluable 
lifetime contribution to my hometown of Corona, California.
  Throughout his life, Jason has dedicated himself to educating the 
next generation of Riverside County citizens. In a career that spanned 
four decades, from 1979 to 2019, Jason worked as a teacher and 
principal for the Corona-Norco Unified School District. In 2008, Jason 
was elected to the Corona City Council, where he would be selected on 
three occasions by his peers to serve as mayor. During his time on the 
City Council, Jason was chosen to represent the city on the Western 
Riverside Council of Governments Board of Directors. Corona experienced 
significant growth during Jason's tenure, and his leadership and 
experience helped the city tackle a number of challenges and seize 
opportunities presented by that expansion.
  Jason has worked tirelessly through his deeds to causes other than 
his own. He has long been an active member of many community 
organizations in the city of Corona and has served as a Board Member 
for the Friends of the Corona Public Library, United Way, UNITY, and 
Corona Fire Safety Foundation. He is a member of the Corona Elks, 
Corona History Association, Corona-Norco PTA, and the Corona Historic 
Preservation Society. Jason shared his life for 30 years with his wife 
Dee until her passing in February 2017 of pancreatic cancer following a 
two-year battle. During and after that incredibly difficult period, I 
was truly inspired by Jason's strength and will to keep working and 
advocating for others.
  I know I speak on behalf of all residents in expressing my heartfelt 
thanks and praise for Jason's significant contributions to the City of 
Corona. I look forward to seeing Jason around town, and I wish him the 
very best in the future.
