  Mr. GARAMENDI. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Mayor Carolyn 
Wysinger, as she is honored as one of California's 8th Congressional 
District's Women of the Year, in recognition for her extraordinary 
leadership, service, and dedication to her community and to the people 
of California. Mayor Wysinger has built an impressive record of civic 
engagement and public service. She has served as Board President of San 
Francisco Pride, one of the world's most prominent celebrations of 
LGBTQ+ visibility and equality, ensuring that the event remains both a 
powerful expression of community pride and a platform for justice. As 
Executive Vice President of the City's Democratic Club and an elected 
member of the County's Democratic Club, she has championed civic 
participation, expanded representation, and strengthened democratic 
processes. In addition, Mayor Wysinger has been a delegate for the 
California Democratic Party, where she has elevated the voices of her 
community at the state level. Her professional accomplishments include 
serving as Communications and Political Director for California's State 
Comptroller, where she advanced key public policy initiatives and 
represented the office with distinction. Beyond her professional and 
political work, Mayor Wysinger is a dedicated mentor to youth, 
investing in the next generation of leaders and ensuring that young 
people, particularly in underrepresented communities, have the tools 
and encouragement to succeed. Mayor Wysinger exemplifies what it means 
to serve with vision, compassion, and integrity. On behalf of the 
people of California's 8th Congressional District, it is my pleasure to 
honor and recognize Carolyn Wysinger for her invaluable contributions 
to our community.
