                            HON. SARA JACOBS

                    in the house of representatives

                         Monday, June 14, 2021

  Ms. JACOBS of California. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize 
and honor my staff member, Jessica Mier, who left my office on June 4, 
2021.
  Jessica Mier has served as my Deputy Chief of Staff in San Diego for 
the better part of 2021, helping me set up my office and leading my 
district staff during the COVID-19 pandemic.
  After graduating from California State University, Sacramento in 
2006, Jessica began her long career in public service--first in higher 
education, then through an internship in a Member of Congress's 
legislative office.
  Her summer internship made an extraordinary impact on her, and led 
her to pursue her next phase of service as a staff member for elected 
officials. Over the last 15 years, Jessica has worked for a U.S. 
Senator, four House Members, and a City Mayor in many different 
capacities. For the past four years, Jessica has led the district 
office of the 53rd Congressional District.
  We have been so fortunate to rely on Jessica's breadth of knowledge 
and connection to the communities she loves and has represented for so 
long. Her focus has always been on the constituents she serves and 
making sure their needs are met or exceeded. Though she has managed to 
do so much for her communities over the years, her humility will never 
let her take credit.
  Jessica's biggest accomplishment comes not in the form of 
professional achievements or awards--though she has many--but in the 
indelible impact that she has had on anyone lucky enough to work with 
her and under her supervision. While Jessica may be leaving our office, 
her work will live on through the public

servants and leaders she has mentored and molded.
  Through her new position with the House, she will train many more 
public servants throughout the United States.
  I am proud to rise today to recognize Jessica Mier, and to thank her 
for her outstanding contributions to the lives of our fellow San 
Diegans.
