                       Friday, December 16, 2022

  Mrs. STEEL. Madam Speaker, today I honor the career and service of 
one of my constituents. Erik Peterson has honorably served the people 
of Orange County, the State of California, and the United States of 
America for years.
  A veteran of the United States Marine Corps, Erik was first elected 
to the Huntington Beach City Council in 2014. He was reelected to the 
Council in 2018, and then served as the Mayor of Huntington Beach 2019 
and 2020. As a Council Member, Erik served as the Director of both the 
Orange County Sanitation District and the Southern California 
Association of Governments.
  Erik isn't just a dedicated public servant, but he is also a job 
creator. In 1999 he founded Intec Network Solutions, an electrical 
contracting company that specializes in keeping communities across 
California safe with commercial fire alarms and security.
  He and his wife, Brandi, call Huntington Beach home and have raised 
their two sons there, actively participating in and contributing to 
their community.
  People like Erik are at the heart of successful communities, and he 
has made Huntington Beach a better place with his service in both 
business and government. On behalf of all Orange County residents, I 
congratulate him on a job well-done and thank him for his years of 
commitment to Huntington Beach.
