  Mr. GARAMENDI. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the 
contributions of Dr. Sheila McCabe as she is honored as one of 
California's 8th Congressional District's Women of the Year for her 
outstanding dedication and service to education and the community. Dr. 
McCabe has served the district for over twelve years, leading efforts 
to expand educational opportunities for more than 21,000 students. 
Under her leadership, innovative programs such as the Public Safety 
Academy, Early College High School at Solano College, and a virtual 
school have been successfully established, providing diverse pathways 
for student success. Her commitment to building authentic community 
partnerships has been transformative. Dr. McCabe spearheaded the 
Inspire career fairs for 8th graders and industry tours for 10th 
graders, programs that have reached over 12,500 students across four 
school districts in Solano County. This exemplary work was recognized 
with the prestigious KI Jones award from the Fairfield-Suisun Chamber 
of Commerce. Beyond education, Dr. McCabe has contributed extensively 
through civic engagement. She has served as Past-President and Literacy 
Chair of the Rotary Club of Cordelia, is a member of the Solano 
Economic Development Corporation Board, and currently leads the 
Fairfield Community Services Foundation Board as its President. She 
also serves as an Honorary Commander for the Band of the Golden West 
and represented Solano County at the Air War College's National 
Security Forum in 2015. Her tireless efforts continue to inspire and 
uplift the families of Solano County, making her truly deserving of 
this community award. On behalf of the people of California's 8th 
Congressional District, it is my pleasure to honor and recognize Dr. 
Sheila McCabe for her invaluable contributions to our community.
