RECOGNIZING ELIZABETH BARRIE FOR HER SERVICE TO CALIFORNIA'S 46TH
CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT
______
HON. J. LUIS CORREA
of california
in the house of representatives
Friday, June 28, 2024
Mr. CORREA. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the contributions of
Elizabeth Barrie to California's 46th Congressional District. Elizabeth
started her career on the Hill as an intern in my office during my
first year in Congress and, like many congressional staffers before
her, takes great pride in being a part of this Chamber and this
institution. Members are able to better serve out constituents because
of the tireless and invisible work and support that our staffers
provide us. For Team Correa, it has been an honor to know and work
alongside Elizabeth.
Elizabeth has dedicated herself to her role through countless late
nights, through sprints in the Rayburn basement, and through many
difficult conversations while advising me.
I've seen staffers come and go on to greener pastures, and I am
always so fortunate to cross paths with an individual who still has so
much potential. She's an incredibly bright staffer with an even
brighter future ahead.
Though we are all sad to lose her, we know that she will bring the
same work ethic to her new role as Federal Affairs and National
Engagement Manager for the City of Los Angeles, where she'll be able to
wear her Dodgers shirt without fear of shame.
I've had the honor of watching Elizabeth grow into her role, and I
will still never let her forget that Orange County is the best county
in California. I am so proud that Elizabeth will return to her roots
and serve the constituents of LA. Elizabeth truly believes in the
ideals of public service, and Los Angeles is lucky to have her service.
