                       TRIBUTE TO AMERICA GRUNER

 Mr. OSSOFF. Mr. President, today I rise to honor someone who 
is a cornerstone of the Dalton, GA, community.
  America Gruner has been a leader in her community for over 30 years. 
She serves as the CEO of the Coalicion de Lideres Latinos, an advocacy 
organization she founded that works to advance human and civil rights 
for the Latino community. Over the last three decades, she has accrued 
skills in civic participation, mental health and crisis intervention, 
medical interpretation, nonprofit organization management, and voting 
mobilization to help advance the lives of the people of Dalton. She has 
also become a leading voice for Dalton's Latino community, using her 
work as an experienced journalist to uncover injustices and right those 
wrongs. My team and I have had the privilege of witnessing Mrs. 
Gruner's impact on the State of Georgia firsthand, and she is a beacon 
of hope and service in our communities.
  As Georgia's U.S. Senator, it is my honor to commend America Gruner 
for her service and steadfast commitment to Dalton and the entire State 
of Georgia.
