                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. JIMMY GOMEZ

                         Thursday, May 1, 2025

  Mr. GOMEZ. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Maricela Luna, the 
first Mexican-American Latina to serve as Postmaster of Los Angeles 
since the city's postal establishment in 1850.
  It is fitting that Maricela Luna's appointment coincides with the 
250th Anniversary of USPS. As the 42nd Postmaster in Los Angeles, 
Marci's story is one of unwavering commitment in service to the local 
community. Luna is an exemplary public servant dedicated to operational 
and logistical excellence befitting of the United States Postal 
Service. Her dedication to innovation and inclusivity sets a high bar 
for all of us in public service, and a living example of the legacy 
USPS which has served Americans since it was established in 1775.
  I am hopeful that Luna's groundbreaking appointment will serve as a 
catalyst to inspire to future-generations--especially in the Mexican-

American and Hispanic communities--towards a life of public service. 
May this appointment deepen public trust and strengthen the Postal 
Service for years to come.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in congratulating 
Maricela Luna, 42nd Postmaster of Los Angeles.
