                                  _____
                                 

                          HON. RITCHIE TORRES

                              of new york

                    in the house of representatives

                       Monday, February 23, 2026

  Mr. TORRES of New York. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate 
Miguelina Camilo on her historic appointment as Chief of Staff in the 
New York City Council Speaker's Office. This is not only a personal 
achievement, but a milestone for the Bronx, for New York City, and for 
the Dominican-American community that helped shape her journey.
  Most recently, Miguelina served as Counsel to Speaker Heastie of the 
New York State Assembly, where she played critical roles in overseeing 
legislative initiatives, coordinating across agencies, and engaging 
with community members. She was key in leading discussions with the 
Executive on funding much needed discovery reform. Her work 
strengthened our justice system and delivered real results for New 
Yorkers.
  Before that, Miguelina was a transformative leader in the nonprofit 
and legal community--serving as President of the Bronx Chapter of 100 
Hispanic Women, the Bronx Women's Bar Association, and the Dominican 
Bar Association. She mentored young people, elevated legal 
professionals, and set a standard of excellence grounded in integrity 
and service.
  Miguelina Camilo has spent a lifetime serving her city. I have no 
doubt she will bring the same dedication and rigor to the Speaker's 
Office. New York City is better for it.
