                          HONORING TALIA GLASS

                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. ILHAN OMAR

                              of minnesota

                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, July 22, 2025

  Ms. OMAR. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the years of 
dedicated public service of Talia Glass, a Senior Community 
Representative in my District Office. Ms. Glass has selflessly served 
Minnesota's 5th District for over six years--since my first day in 
Congress. She has proven herself to be an incredibly thoughtful, 
organized, and reliable public servant, and the people of the 5th 
District are better off because of her service.
  Talia is a born and raised Minneapolis resident and her dedication to 
this city and the entire 5th District is exemplified in everything she 
does. Over the last six years, Talia has helped countless constituents 
through federal casework assistance. She made sure small businesses 
were awarded the funding needed to stay open, fought for families' 
long-awaited tax returns, and ensured that individuals received their 
vital health insurance benefits. She organized major events to bring 
hundreds of constituents, advocates, and public officials together to 
tackle some of our community's biggest problems--the opioid crisis, 
Black maternal health, hospital stability, and so much more.
  Along with her stellar casework record, Talia led my office's work on 
Community Project Funding. In just three years, Talia successfully 
managed our effort to bring home over fifty-four million dollars to the 
5th District. She has a history of success, with every single project 
within her first three years being approved for funding. Her attention 
to detail, her reliability, and her dedication to quality work has 
served her well in her commitment to improving the lives of 
Minnesotans.
  I ask my colleagues to join me in thanking Talia for her years of 
remarkable public service during her time with the U.S. House of 
Representatives. It would be impossible for us to do this work without 
hardworking, compassionate staff supporting us. It has been a privilege 
to work with Talia and witness her accomplishments over the last six 
years, and I wish her the best in this new chapter of her career.
