ANTHONY URIBE RECOGNIZED AS YOUNG PROFESSIONAL OF THE YEAR
(Mr. BERA asked and was given permission to address the House for 1
minute.)
Mr. BERA. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to celebrate one of my staff
members, Anthony Uribe, who is being recognized by the Sacramento Metro
Chamber of Commerce as a Young Professional of the Year.
Anthony joined my staff in 2018, when he was a senior at Sacramento
State, as an intern. He came on as a staff assistant and has been
working his way up. Anthony has shown grit and perseverance,
representing the Sacramento communities of North Sacramento, Del Paso
Heights, and Natomas. He is a great extension of what we do.
Anthony is innovative. One of the best Anthony stories is that, as a
staff assistant, you have to pick the Member of Congress up early in
the morning

sometimes. Because I am on the West Coast, that is a 4 a.m. pickup
call. One morning, he may have overslept his alarm clock there, so he
got there and said: I will get you to the airport, Mr. Congressman.
For those in Sacramento County, he got me from Elk Grove to the
airport in 10 minutes flat. Maybe there was a little bit of speeding
there.
I congratulate Anthony. I wish I was there with him for the awards
ceremony. It is a well-deserved award.
