                        Tuesday, March 28, 2023

  Ms. CRAIG. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to thank and congratulate Maria 
Ferrara for four years and two plus Congresses as my Director of 
Operations.
  Maria has been with my office since the early days of my first term 
starting first as my scheduler and elevating to the absolutely vital 
role of Director of Operations. For years, Maria has truly kept our 
office running and functioning at a high capacity.
  She's fielded countless meeting requests, hearings and speaking 
engagements, helped operationalize our office's remote work policies 
during the pandemic and constantly sought out ways to improve our 
processes. And she's got the best advice on D.C. restaurants of anyone 
I know.
  I've appreciated Maria's advice and counsel in various roles over the 
years and wish her the best in her new adventure off the Hill. I'll 
miss her greatly on my team--and wish her best of luck as she continues 
on in her career.
