                    HONORING EDWARD CARTWRIGHT MOORE

                                 ______
                                 

                       HON. ELEANOR HOLMES NORTON

                      of the district of columbia

                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, January 12, 2021

  Ms. NORTON. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize a treasured 
member of my staff, Edward Cartwright Moore, on the occasion of his 
retirement on January 15, 2021, after over 30 years in my office. 
Cartwright, my longest-serving staff member, has been a dedicated 
public servant for nearly his entire career. I have been honored to 
know him since the first day he stepped into my congressional campaign 
office in 1990, when I had just been elected and before I had any 
staff. Cartwright got to work before day one of my first term in the 
House, and he has been unstoppable since.
  Cartwright, born in Ann Arbor, Michigan to Margaret and Edward Moore 
in 1954, has over the years become a go-to staffer for general casework 
and for his expertise on immigration and LGBTQIA issues.
  Recently, for example, Cartwright was integral in assisting a 
District of Columbia family stranded in India during a trip to renew 
their H1-B Visas. While a shoutout in a Washington Post article stated 
``Del. Eleanor Holmes Norton (D-D.C.) made some noise to bring her 
constituents back,'' it was Cartwright's work behind the scenes, 
spending hours working to ensure the family returned home to D.C. 
safely, that deserved the credit. Cartwright is meticulous, caring and 
humble. He also keeps other staffers on their toes with his witty, 
unexpected replies to everyday questions like, ``How are you?''
  Cartwright graduated from Hiram College, where he studied history, in 
1979. He then attended law school at Case Western University, where he 
studied labor law. He passed the bar in both Ohio and North Carolina, 
and worked on various political campaigns, picking up a range of 
expertise along the way.
  Madam Speaker, I ask the House of Representatives to join me in 
honoring Edward Cartwright Moore on his 30 years of outstanding work on 
behalf of D.C. residents and our country.
