                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, October 25, 2022

  Ms. WILSON of Florida. Madam Speaker, I rise to honor the service of 
Patrick Barham Quesada, my Press Secretary, and Digital Director, who 
faithfully served the people of Florida's 24th Congressional District.
  Patrick, a gifted writer and dynamic digital curator, assisted with 
all communications efforts coming from my office and oversaw my social 
media platforms. His talent, knowledge, and creativity were 
consistently displayed throughout his work as he kept me aware of 
current news and political developments.
  The son of Leda Quesada Barham and Bruce Barham, Patrick was raised 
in Miami, Florida. A graduate of Harvard College with a degree in 
Government and Sociology, Patrick began his political career at the 
outset of the COVID-19 pandemic. While on leave from school, he helped 
elect Miami-Dade's first female mayor and served as her speechwriter.
  An exceptional example of excellence coming from Miami's public 
schools, Patrick has proven that he possesses the capability to succeed 
in any role he takes on in the future.
  On behalf of Florida's 24th Congressional District, I ask my 
colleagues to join me in honoring Patrick Barham Quesada for his 
present and future accomplishments.
