minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. RUIZ. Mr. Speaker, I rise to honor Erin Doty and celebrate her 
great accomplishments as my legislative director for the past 8 years.
  She led my legislative strategies to great success. Under her 
leadership, we passed 47 bills into law. Some of our most memorable 
bills are the Safe Step Act, the Protecting People from Surprise 
Medical Bills Act, the Humanitarian Standards for Individuals in 
Customs and Border Protection Act, and the Honoring our PACT Act.
  Erin has a heart of gold, a relentless commitment to social justice,

special talent to make sure I never missed a vote. She was unwaveringly 
dedicated, often staying very late for votes, despite me insisting that

  Erin is a wonderful human being, a good friend, and a trusted 
adviser.
  Mr. Speaker, I thank Erin for her service on behalf of the American 
people, especially the people of California's 36th and now 25th 
District. We miss you dearly and we wish you luck and look forward to 
your future endeavors.
