                      Wednesday, December 21, 2022

  Mr. LaMALFA. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize the retirement 
of Nevada County Assessor and a close friend of mine, Sue Horne. Sue's 
leadership in Nevada County over the years serves as a testament to her 
outstanding work and her dedication to the community. It has been a 
pleasure to work with her and I know the people of Nevada County have 
benefited greatly from her time in office.
  Throughout Sue's career she has worked hard to represent the best 
interests of the people. Her service to Nevada County residents began 
during her work under 2 State Assembly members as a staffer. After that 
time, she was elected to the Nevada County Board of Supervisors for 8 
years, where she would serve a year as Chair. During her time on the 
Board, she would also serve as the Chair of the Rural County 
Representatives of California (RCRC) in 2007.
  After her service on the Board of Supervisors, Sue was elected as the 
Nevada County Assessor in 2010. As Assessor, Sue worked to ensure that 
Nevada County taxpayers receive a fair and accurate assessment of their 
taxable property in accordance with California tax law. She is also a 
member of the Northern California Assessors Association and served as 
its President in 2019. She has served 3 terms in her role as Assessor.
  Never one to slow down, Sue has also been an active volunteer in the 
community. She has

volunteered with our local Friends of Nevada County Military for many 
years, serving on its board and helping to pack monthly care packages 
for local service members deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan. In 2006, 
she helped found the Sierra Nevada Chapter of Blue Star Mothers of 
America and served as the organization's first president that same 
year.
  It has been a great pleasure to work with Sue. I thank her for being 
someone I can always rely on and call for advice. Sue and her husband, 
Bruce, have been married 48 years, live in Alta Sierra and have 3 grown 
children and 5 grandchildren. In her ``other'' life, she loves to 
travel, hike the Sierra, mountain bike, and loves being with her family 
and friends. I wish Sue the best in her retirement, and I will always 
appreciate our talks. I thank Sue for her service to the people of 
Nevada County, she will be missed greatly.
