  Ms. PETTERSEN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Peg Perl, the 
Chief Deputy Clerk and Recorder for Jefferson County. She was chosen by 
the U.S. Department of State's Office for Democratic Institutions and 
Human Rights to help oversee a recent Uzbekistan election in July 2023. 
Ms. Perl was stationed at an election site in Namangan, near the 
Kyrgyzstan border. She and her fellow delegates reviewed the set-up 
process, voting, counting, and reporting of results late into the 
night. Ms. Perl's commitment to service and democracy helped to ensure 
voting was accessible and protected during this election.
  Ms. Perl has over 20 years of experience in election administration, 
voting rights, and government ethics at the national, state, and local 
levels. She helped design and enact Colorado's modern voting laws as 
well as many state and city campaign disclosure reforms while serving 
as Senior Counsel for the nonpartisan Colorado Ethics Watch. In 2017, 
she was named one of the Top Women Attorneys by Law Week Colorado. 
Prior to moving to Colorado in 2010, Ms. Perl served as a nonpartisan 
counsel to the U.S. House of Representatives Ethics Committee and as a 
policy attorney with the Federal Election Commission. She has shown a 
lifelong dedication and devotion to the ideals of democracy, and today 
we recognize her commitment to service.
