                 HONORING THE SERVICE OF MARITA MIKESKA

                                 ______
                                 

                         HON. MICHAEL T. McCAUL

                                of texas

                    in the house of representatives

                      Wednesday, December 21, 2022

  Mr. McCAUL. Madam Speaker, for nearly two decades, the people of 
Texas have had a champion in Marita Mikeska, who served as my 
constituent liaison. As she retires and embarks on a new journey, I 
rise to honor and recognize her many achievements.
  Marita began her work in my office in 2004 and quickly became 
indispensable. Having previously worked for seven lawyers, Marita was 
accustomed to high-stakes and fast-paced environments, a trait that 
served her well on my team. She handled any crisis with ease, and she 
performed every task--no matter how big or small--with a positive 
attitude that encouraged both coworkers and constituents.
  Throughout her tenure in my office, Marita helped countless 
individuals on cases dealing with everything from the military to 
taxes. In the past four years alone, she helped Texans secure nearly $5 
million of their hard-earned money from the IRS.
  Marita's retirement is well-deserved. While she will be missed, I 
know her husband Robert, daughter Michele, and granddaughter Ava will 
be blessed by their time spent together. A fixture of the Brenham 
community, Marita will no doubt continue to serve and benefit her 
neighbors for years to come.
