                       TRIBUTE TO VICTORIA CHACON

 Mr. OSSOFF. Mr. President, I rise to commend Victoria Chacon 
for her leadership, commitment to local journalism, and passion for 
keeping Georgia's Latino community informed.
  Born in Chancay, Peru, Ms. Chacon arrived in the United States 
without speaking any English. She worked many different jobs in 
construction, commercial and residential cleaning, and maintenance in 
Atlanta before becoming a small business owner in the cleaning and 
maintenance industry. She later founded Atlanta's first bilingual 
newspaper, La Vision, which is now distributed across the State of 
Georgia. Ms. Chacon has dedicated more than 30 years to helping the 
Latino community in Georgia.
  As Georgia's U.S. Senator, I commend Victoria Chacon for her 
leadership, her work to uplift Georgia's Latino community, and her 
commitment to keeping Georgia's Spanish-speaking community 
informed.
