                CELEBRATING THE LIFE OF FRANCINE MAIGUE

  (Ms. JACOBS of California asked and was given permission to address 
the House for 1 minute.)
  Ms. JACOBS of California. Madam Speaker, Congressman Vargas and I 
rise today to celebrate the incredible life of Francine Maigue and the 
indelible mark she left on San Diego.
  Francine was an artist, an advocate, a journalist, a motivational 
speaker, and, as so many in San Diego knew her, a public servant.
  As district director in the California State Assembly, Francine made 
sure that San Diegans had equitable access to the resources they needed 
and deserved.
  Even after her cancer diagnosis in 2019, Francine kept working to 
serve our community while also becoming a powerful advocate for cancer 
research.
  Francine was a proud advocate for San Diego's Filipino and Asian-
American communities. She served as the president of the Filipino-
American Chamber of Commerce of San Diego County and proudly 
highlighted the Filipino experience across the country and around the 
world.
  Last month, Francine passed away after her battle with cancer.
  Congressman Vargas and I join so many from across San Diego in 
sending our condolences to Francine's family, friends, and loved ones. 
May her memory be a blessing.
