                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. ED PERLMUTTER

                              of colorado

                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, November 16, 2021

  Mr. PERLMUTTER. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize Dr. Dawn 
Comstock, Executive Director of the Jefferson County Public Health 
Department (JCPH) for her dedication and service to the people of 
Jefferson County, Colorado throughout the COVID-19 pandemic. In 
addition to her leadership role at JCPH, Dr. Comstock went above and 
beyond to engage, educate and inform the community about COVID-19, 
including by participating in four Telephone Town Halls with my office 
and thousands of my constituents.
  After a successful career as a tenured professor at the University of 
Colorado Anschutz, Dr. Comstock answered the call to serve her 
community in the middle of a global pandemic, stepping into her role as 
Executive Director in February 2011. Participating in Telephone Town 
Halls, Dr. Comstock provided timely updates on COVID-19 and answered 
constituents' questions regarding how to protect themselves and their 
families during an uncertain time. Her insights and knowledge were 
invaluable to my constituents.
  There is no amount of recognition that can accurately display just 
how much Dr. Comstock has done for us. It is because of essential 
workers like Dr. Comstock that we have been able to make it this far in 
the pandemic. I wish her nothing but the best in the future, as we 
continue to fight against COVID-19.
