  HONORING THE YEARS OF SERVICE OF MS. WENDI LIPSICH IN THE HOUSE OF 
                            REPRESENTATIVES

                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. JARED MOSKOWITZ

                               of florida

                    in the house of representatives

                       Wednesday, March 29, 2023

  Mr. MOSKOWITZ. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to thank my District 
Director, Ms. Wendi Lipsich, for her remarkable 26 years of public 
service in the House of Representatives.
  Since the age of 26, Wendi has been instrumental in helping multiple 
Members of Congress successfully serve our constituents. Wendi launched 
her career as a Congressional District Director to former Congressman 
Robert Wexler in 1997, soon after she graduated from the University of 
Miami Law School. While working for Congressman Wexler, Wendi married 
her husband Todd, and had 2 beautiful children, Taylor and Joey.
  In commemoration of such a noteworthy career, I would like to relay a 
message from Congressman Wexler:

       With an infectious smile and positive spirit, Wendi Lipsich 
     has been a public servant in the truest sense for three 
     decades. Wendi has helped countless people solve problems big 
     and small. Everyone--and I mean everyone--loves Wendi. And 
     for a good reason. Wendi personifies impeccable character and 
     integrity. What joy it was for me to work alongside Wendi for 
     15+ years. The people of Palm Beach and Broward Counties owe 
     Wendi enormous gratitude for her never-ending dedication and 
     kindness. Wendi is one of a kind, amazing!

  Immediately after Congressman Wexler retired, she was hired as the 
District Director for my predecessor and friend, former Congressman Ted 
Deutch, from 2010 to 2022. Congressman Deutch had this to say about 
Wendi:

       Wendi is more than the district director. She is and will 
     continue to be a good friend to anyone needing assistance. 
     Even if it's not related to Congress, people know Wendi will 
     happily do anything she can to try to help them. She cares so 
     deeply about our community and about all of the talented 
     people she has worked with to help our constituents. 
     Everyone, literally everyone, loves and appreciates Wendi 
     Lipsich.

  Mr. Speaker, I have always known Wendi to be a selfless public 
servant, and I am eternally grateful for her service to the 
constituents of Florida's 23rd Congressional District.
  In addition to enjoying her professional life, Wendi goes above and 
beyond to give back to her community. She is the founder and Co-Chair 
of the Boca Raton Lupus Walk with the Alliance for Lupus Research and 
continues to play an active role in raising awareness and funds to help 
cure lupus. Wendi has also been the Hillel of Broward and Palm Beach 
Board Member and Chair of the Student Life Committee, Guardian Ad Litem 
Child Advocate with the 15th Judicial Circuit of West Palm Beach, 
Jewish Federation of South Palm Beach County, Business and Professional 
Cabinet Co-Chair and Board Member, KidSafe Foundation Board Member, 
Spanish River Community High School Foundation Board Member, Junior 
League of Boca Raton's Volunteer of the Year honoree, Democratic 
Professionals Council of Palm Beach County, Alliance of Delray 
Association, Democratic National Convention Delegate and a supporter of 
many other charities.
  Mr. Speaker, please join me in celebrating my friend and colleague, 
Ms. Wendi Lipsich, as she embarks on the next chapter of her career. I 
am eternally grateful to her for her years of service to our Nation and 
wish her all the best.
