                          HON. DORIS O. MATSUI

                         Thursday, May 12, 2022

  Ms. MATSUI. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize Mr. Roy E. 
Brewer for his thirty-six years of dedication to the Sacramento 
Metropolitan Chamber of Commerce (Metro Chamber) and his contributions 
to the Greater Sacramento area. As the Metro Chamber celebrates fifty 
years of their Capitol-to-Capitol (Cap-to-Cap) program, I ask all my 
colleagues to stand with me to honor Mr. Brewer.
  Mr. Brewer is a founding partner of Brewer Lofgren LLP Attorneys at 
Law. He received his Juris Doctor at the University of the Pacific, 
McGeorge School of Law in 1982; spending his early college years at the 
University of Florida where he earned both a Master of Arts and 
Bachelor of Arts in Political Science. Mr. Brewer applied his education 
as a land use attorney in the Sacramento area. Mr. Brewer is a trusted 
advocate at the local, state and federal levels on many public policy 
issues.
  Mr. Brewer, the current Board Chair of KVIE-PBS for Northern 
California, has spent many decades in community engagement. He is a 
Senior Fellow of the American Leadership Forum, Mountain Valley 
Chapter, and was the Board Chair in 2010 through 2011. He has also been 
the Chair of the Capital Campaign for the Los Rios Community College 
District, the Chair of Leadership Sacramento, the President of the 
American River Natural History Association, and the President of the 
Northern California Rugby Football Union.
  In 1990, Mr. Brewer served as President of the Sacramento Metro 
Chamber, lending his dedication and expertise to the organization. His 
leadership within the Metro Chamber has brought businesses together and 
has furthered economic prosperity throughout the Sacramento region. In 
1991, he was honored as the Metro Chamber's Sacramentan of the Year, a 
much-deserved recognition. Today, he continues his commitment and 
enthusiasm through the annual Cap-to-Cap event in Washington, D.C. This 
event would not be what it is without his leadership.
  Madam Speaker, as Members of the Sacramento Metropolitan Chamber of 
Commerce celebrate Mr. Brewer, I ask my colleagues to join me in 
recognizing his legacy of service to the Sacramento region.
