                        HON. FREDERICA S. WILSON

                               of florida

                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, July 11, 2023

  Ms. WILSON of Florida. Mr. Speaker, I rise to honor the service and 
accomplishments of Ricky Rodriguez, my intern who is transitioning from 
my office to continue his mission.
  A Florida native with Cuban and Haitian origins, Ricky came to my 
office ready to impact the American system. While in my office, Ricky 
has pushed my civil rights agenda to great lengths--from drafting 
memos, to organizing information, to researching data.
  In our time together, I have recognized that Ricky is a force in 
policy. His passion has been powerful over the semester as we have 
fought for the lives of underserved and disadvantaged communities. His 
commitment to justice has led Ricky to graduate from Florida A&M 
University, where he obtained a Bachelor's in Political Science. Ricky 
has and will continue to make a difference and leave his mark on public 
policy as he continues to fight for a better system.
  On behalf of Florida's 24th Congressional District, I ask my 
colleagues to join me in honoring Ricky Rodriguez for his exemplary 
accomplishments, dedication to public service, and trailblazing 
leadership.
