                                 ______
                                 

                         HON. ALAN S. LOWENTHAL

                             of california

                    in the house of representatives

                        Monday, January 25, 2021

  Mr. LOWENTHAL. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor Judith Mitchell 
and her career of public service.
  After 11 years of dedicated public service, Ms. Mitchell will be 
retiring from public service.
  Ms. Mitchell served with honor as Rolling Hills Estate Mayor and 
Council Member for her city, Southland, her state and the nation. Ms. 
Mitchell showed her fairness, depth of knowledge and dedication to 
improving the quality of life for all.
  During her political career, Ms. Mitchell was elected to represent 51 
cities in the western portion of Los Angeles County which she 
represented through the Governing Board of the South Coast Air Quality 
Management District. Ms. Mitchell was then appointed to the California 
Air Resources Board under Governor Edmund J. Brown, and additionally 
served as the President of the League of California Cities where she 
chaired several key environmental committees. Her work on these two 
agencies, helped to spur technological innovation to create jobs and 
economic growth in the Southland and across the nation.
  Ms. Mitchell's legacy for clean air policies and her unwavering 
support for green technologies has not only helped those most impacted 
in her community, but these efforts have a direct impact on my 
Congressional District. These clean air advancements will also assist 
other States and regions to help meet federal public health standards 
and build a foundation for the United States technological and 
industrial leadership.
  It is with great pride and gratitude that I extend my best wishes to 
Ms. Judith Mitchell upon her retirement and ask that my distinguished 
colleagues join me in honoring her.
