HONORING GLORIA OLIVEROS
______
HON. MARIO DIAZ-BALART
of florida
in the house of representatives
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.
