                       Tuesday, January 17, 2023

  Mr. DIAZ-BALART. Mr. Speaker, in honor of her more than 30 years of 
public service, I rise today to recognize Gloria Oliveros, whose 
unwavering dedication has had a deep impact on our community in South 
Florida and the constituents in my district.
  A long-time resident of Miami, Florida, Gloria received her 
Associates Degree at Miami Dade College, later continuing her education 
at Florida International University where she successfully attained her 
Bachelor's in Public Administration. While furthering her education, 
Gloria simultaneously began her capacity for 6 years. After I was 
elected to the U.S. House of Representatives, she continued to serve 
her community by taking on the position as Deputy District Director and 
Office Manager in my district office. From 2003 through 2018, Gloria 
executed her duties as Deputy District Director with enthusiasm, 
compassion, and hard work, proving herself an invaluable member of the 
team. Today, after decades of selfless dedication and repeatedly 
meeting the needs of constituents, Gloria has earned many promotions to 
ultimately become District Director.
  I know that Floridians from every corner of our district have 
benefitted from the fruits of community driven leadership and the 
tireless efforts of Gloria Oliveros. For this and much more, I wish to 
express my gratitude on behalf of myself, our team, and our district 
for the years of service Gloria has given to the betterment of our 
community. I know that many of our constituents know firsthand that 
Gloria is not only hard-working and supremely competent, but she is 
also kind, honorable, and intensely loyal.
  Mr. Speaker, as a lifelong public servant, a steadfast leader, and a 
dear friend, Gloria has proven time and time again her unwavering 
commitment to the district. She is a source of great pride to us all, 
including her husband, Michael and her children, Carlos, Taylor, 
Abigail, and Michael, Jr. It is truly a privilege to know and work with 
her, and I am grateful for the time that she has graciously given to 
improve our South Florida Community. I ask my colleagues to join me in 
recognizing the service and accomplishments of this outstanding 
individual.
