 WELCOMING THE HONORABLE CONNIE CONWAY TO THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES

  The SPEAKER. Without objection, the gentlewoman from California (Ms. 
Lofgren) is recognized for 1 minute.
  There was no objection.
  Ms. LOFGREN. Madam Speaker, on behalf of my California colleagues and 
the House of Representatives, I welcome Representative Connie Conway to 
Congress.
  A lifelong San Joaquin Valley resident, Representative Conway has 
served as a businesswoman, healthcare worker, Tulare County supervisor, 
president of the California State Association of Counties, and director 
of the National Association of Counties.
  From 2008 to 2014, she served in the California State Assembly. 
During her tenure she also served as the Assembly minority leader.
  In 2019, Representative Conway was appointed to the USDA Farm Service 
Agency as the California executive director.
  In that role, she administered more than $100 million in safety net 
and disaster relief programs serving California farmers, ranchers, 
foresters, and agricultural producers.
  Representative Conway previously operated her own consulting business 
and comes with experience in the healthcare sector--previously working 
for the Women's Health Department at Tulare District Hospital and 
coordinating a wellness program for Visalia's Kaweah Health Medical 
Center.
  We look forward to working with Representative Conway.
  Madam Speaker, I yield to the gentleman from California (Mr. 
Calvert).
