                       Friday, February 17, 2023

  Mr. BLUMENAUER. Mr. Speaker, I rise to remember my friend and former 
colleague, Cindy Gaulke. During my time as a Portland city 
commissioner, Cindy was our office's scheduler and a dedicated public 
servant in the truest sense of the term.
  Cindy was an integral team player, focused, and determined. She was 
the heart and soul of our City Hall office. She was dedicated to doing 
her job well, sorting things out, and was there when you needed her. 
And she had a great sense of humor.
  When I won a special election to serve in Congress, I turned to Cindy 
to ask if she would come out to Washington, D.C. to help set up our 
Congressional office. I was thankful to have a friend and terrific 
partner as the team figured out how Capitol Hill worked. I will forever 
be grateful Cindy was willing to share some of her competence with me 
and my team.
  Cindy was a bright spot of confidence, good cheer and dedication that 
made our lives function in our Nation's Capital. I am honored to have 
known her and to have worked with her.
