 IN RECOGNITION OF LAURA NAKASAKA FOR TWO YEARS OF OUTSTANDING SERVICE

                                 ______
                                 

                         HON. SUZAN K. DelBENE

                             of washington

                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, June 22, 2022

  Ms. DelBENE. Madam Speaker, I rise today to thank Laura Nakasaka for 
nearly two years of invaluable service to my office and my constituents 
in Washington's 1st Congressional District.
  Laura joined my office as a Staff Assistant and Press Assistant in 
September 2020 during the height of the pandemic and has worked 
tirelessly to ensure my constituents are kept up-to-date on my work for 
the district. Laura has brought a tremendous positive attitude, hard 
work ethic, and wonderful creativity to the role.
  Over her tenure, she played an instrumental role in overseeing the 
smooth ramp up of in-person constituent services as we transitioned 
back to being in the office, training and mentoring our interns to 
ensure seamless front office operations, and boosting our social media 
presence through innovative strategies--all while building lasting 
relationships with my team and those who had the pleasure of getting to 
know her. In addition, her incredible knowledge of caring for plants 
has also inspired many in our office to become plant parents 
themselves. Laura has been an amazing staffer and a wonderful friend to 
all in the office, and we will all sorely miss her.
  Madam Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in honoring Laura 
Nakasaka and wishing her the best in all of her future endeavors.
