                      Thursday, December 23, 2021

  Mr. KIND. Madam Speaker, today I recognize and celebrate the career 
of one of my original staff members, Danice Stanton Taylor. Danice 
started on January 27, 1997 and was hired as a caseworker. She focused 
on casework involving the Social Security Administration, Centers for 
Medicare and Medicaid Services, healthcare and disabilities. Fittingly, 
she is moving to a job with the La Crosse Social Security Office, where 
she can continue to help people with their Social Security questions or 
issues.
  She was born and raised in the Town of Mifflin, Wisconsin, a small 
town in the driftless region of Southwest Wisconsin. She graduated from 
Iowa-Grant High School and went on to graduate from UW-Platteville with 
a Bachelor of Science in Political Science. After graduation, she 
worked for Senator Russ Feingold for two years even doing a stint in 
Washington, DC. Her Wisconsin roots brought her back and I was lucky to 
have her join my staff in my La Crosse District Office. Danice and her 
husband Mike are raising three talented and creative children, Alec, 
Jackie and Olivia. It has been fun watching them grow up throughout 
these years.
  Danice has been a steady, patient and friendly voice to the 
constituents of Wisconsin's 3rd Congressional District. I could always 
count on her to provide thorough and excellent assistance to the people 
I represent. Throughout her years of service, she has joined me on the 
road for countless listening sessions. Additionally, she served as the 
staff leader on the annual Congressional Art Competition.
  There were many times when I received a letter, email, phone call, or 
had a personal conversation with someone who Danice helped and how 
grateful they were for her assistance. It can truly be said that she 
served the people well and serves as a great example of what good 
public service looks like.
  I thank Danice for her hard work and dedication and 24 years of 
public service to my office and to the people of Wisconsin's 3rd 
Congressional District. I wish her, Mike and her children all the best 
in their next chapter.
