    IN RECOGNITION OF GABRIEL BARNETT AND HIS SERVICE TO THE HOUSE 
                          JUDICIARY COMMITTEE

                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. JERROLD NADLER

                              of new york

                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, October 25, 2022

  Mr. NADLER. Madam Speaker, I rise to thank Gabriel Barnett for his 
service to the Committee on the Judiciary.
  Gabriel received his bachelor's degree from the University of 
Pennsylvania and began his career in public policy and advocacy on the 
Biden for President campaign as the Deputy Director for National Jewish 
Engagement. Gabriel first joined the Judiciary Committee as a Staff 
Assistant in June 2021, and in April 2022 was named Professional Staff 
Member to the full committee.
  As Staff Assistant, Gabriel supported the full committee's senior 
staff and myself directly. A core part of my administrative team, 
Gabriel acted as assistant clerk for over 40 hearings and 12 markups 
and oversaw the committee's internship program. When two full committee 
staff left their positions, Gabriel seamlessly assumed their duties in 
addition to his own and worked diligently to support the Staff Director 
and two Deputy Staff Directors for all of their research and 
administrative needs.
  Recognized for his dedicated service, Gabriel was promoted to 
Professional Staff Member for the full committee. He prepared weekly 
memoranda for me for House committee leadership meetings and worked 
with our Member Services, Communications, and Digital Directors on 
highlighting committee accomplishments for the 117th Congress. In 
addition, because of his keen expertise in Israeli foreign policy and 
Jewish issues, Gabriel worked closely with my staff director to make 
policy recommendations and meet with key stakeholders in these issue 
areas. Gabriel was also a founding member of the committee's first 
diversity, equity, and inclusion working group to facilitate trainings, 
plan initiatives, enhance our recruitment, and be a resource to other 
staff on diversity, equity, and inclusion.
  Throughout all of his work, Gabriel brought his commitment to public 
policy, a tireless work ethic, and a devoted dedication to justice for 
all. Our Committee, Congress, and the American people greatly benefited 
from his service.
  While we are sad to see Gabriel go and he will certainly be missed, 
we are happy that he will continue to serve the public interest in his 
new role at the White House.
  We thank Gabriel Barnett for his service to the Committee and wish 
him the best of luck with this new chapter.
